Just heard that "FLOG IT" is being shown at 4:30 today from Norwich Cathedral. Thought some may be interested. Jeff

I cannot understand why, in this modern world, if since the introduction of a 5p charge, supermarkets can supply a carrier bag that rips as soon as you put something in it, why can't Network Rail develop a tree with leaves that disintegrate on contact with a metal rail. ! Problem solved ! Jeff

Totally agree that this is a brilliant idea. It would not only give us all another view to keep an eye on but would also give more insight to the broads for those who are still living in ignorance of the best area in the country. Sincerely hope you will be able to proceed down this line and that your business will be rewarded as a result of the effort and cash that you would be putting in to it. Please do keep us informed of your progress. Jeff

Like the photos Poppy. Looks like there was plenty of water in the dyke..........did someone leave the tap on? lol Jeff

I remember taking that "stroll" to the shop at Rockland a few years ago. All I can say is I'm glad it was all downhill back to the boat ! lol Jeff

so sorry to hear your sad news. The only thing I can say is to try and remember all the happy and fun times you spent together. Jeff

That would be useful when mooring places are scarce. All you have to do is "sit on bottom" Jeff

Gracie you are doing ok but I will have to get my other half to give you a lesson or two. Lots of things that she has bought because it's that time of year are already hidden in paper parcels.!!! ( I have nothing to do with it) Jeff

Last time we moored on Fleet Dyke we saw quite a few people walking their dogs along the length of it right up to the Bure. Hopefully one of them may see Lulu and be able to coax her to safety. Jeff

Thanks for that Alan. I've already studied that but just wondered if anyone had any first-hand experience of the boat. Jeff

We are thinking if booking Crusading Light from HW for 1 week next year. There will be 6 adults and 1 one-year old. Has anyone ever hired this boat and/or got any info worth knowing?

Makes you wonder what would happen to the BA if the likes of Richardsons, Barnes, Faircraft and Herbert Woods were to decide pull out of Broads boat hire because tolls were too expensive and the extra costs could no longer be passed on to the customer. What encouragement do the hire yards get to increase their fleet, whether that be building new craft or buying older ones from another yard? Jeff

Hi Iain, Hope you enjoy every minute. Have you made a mental note of where the fire extinguisher is ? lol Jeff

If the date is Americanised then the photo must be of it being launched rather than retrieved Jeff

I hope they are not going to try using that photo to claim on an insurance. Check out the date on the photo ! Jeff

Could it be an Eastern Counties bus? Jeff

Hi Robin, I read through your thoughts with interest. My wife has a question for you though.......WHERE'S THE HOT TUB GOING? Jeff

In 1964, 3 days after leaving school, I started work in the same office where my brother worked. I started as a junior on the post desk earning the princely sum of £4 for a 40 hour week. I remember my brother complaining about how much I was being paid. He had started on £3. 5s when he started there. He did not take into account the fact that he started 5years before I did. Jeff

I would go with the new Inn at Horning. It,s the only place I can think of that has/had houseboats across the river from a pub Jeff

Just trying to imagine how a boat can sustain such damage if it had run aground ! Looks more like collision damage to me Jeff

Obviously not all their boats are in.......I can still see some water! Jeff

Likewise Sue Gave up a long time ago Jeff

I wonder if they used the pilot to go through the first time and thought "it looks easy, I could do that" Jeff

Good idea but I can see at least two ways they could maybe jump ship looks like it's well wrapped up Jeff

I imagine it would be difficult to moor alongside after about 3 p.m. lol
