It's good to hear that the Ferry has had what sounds like a huge improvement.
We used to enjoy a meal there before it went downhill a while back now.
Must remember to check it out again when we are down that way again layer in the year
Thanks. Jeff

II's not a problem in not getting to Lathams.
Not being able to get to the chippy is more of a problem !!!!!!

simple and swift remedy. !!
Get the army in to construct a Bailey bridge over the existing one.
Gives the Royal Engineers something to do and solves the problem all in about 24 hours
Surely it could be arranged for a member of the "National Parks" group.

MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone.

I second all the above comments. At difficult times this forum is a godsend and viewing the webcams every day really does help with sanity.
I wish all members and "THE MANAGEMENT" a very merry Christmas and a very very happy and prosperous 2023

Well spotted! If you can just highlight which ones I'll change them now.
A new Christmas spot the ball if you like.
I am not going to make it too easy for you but will say one is red and one is yellow

It amazes me that a bloke who "trains" for hours and hours can't kick a ball into a massive hole with another bloke stood in the middle of it.
On top of that he is regarded as the best this country has!!!!!!!!!! And he gets paid a fortune for not being able to do his job properly

It looks like they had to get the strimmer out so they could get near it !!!

I can't understand why there is such a major problem with refunding all monies paid to a company who can no longer supply the item ordered and not yet supplied.
Why should they accept a " low deposit" and not refund it as they cannot provide the item as ordered?
On top of that they turn round and tell you that you have not paid enough for something that you are not going to get !!
I can remember the days when you could "reserve" a boat for a particular date 12 months later without paying a penny. You would then receive a letter in January asking if you wanted to make it a firm booking and if the answer is YES please send a deposit of x pounds by a specified date.
It seems to me that nowadays booking agents are there to rip you off rather than treat you as a valued customer. !!!

Maybe they got a long tube and fitted it to the tyres and then got a lot of people to blow into it !!!

Happy Birthday from me too Simon.
How does it feel to be a significant number of years old?

Maybe if "offenders" were made to pay for their room and board it would be more of a deterrent. !!
Some will see it as somewhere to sleep with all meals provided and laundry sorted for you.

Driving license should be removed from the offender and stored in an incinerator.
Just my opinion of course.

I remember hiring Super Wings from Wing Line Cruisers up the top end of the dyke near the Yare pub.
That would have been back in the 70's

I suppose that there is always the chance that Richardsons will re-open the yard at Acle depending on costs of course

Looking at the menu and the charges that go with it I would estimate that the baked beans work out at about 10pence each

Lets hope that if we ask nicely Clive will do us a weekly update on the progress when building these new boats like the one we got from the building of Broadsman , Carousel etc

I also remember eagerly awaiting the arrival of the latest brochures.
I would read every detail of every boat again and again. If I was asked anything about any boat I could tell mum or dad everything they wanted to know from boatyard to size to layout and the names and details of any similar boats.
I would also be able to tell them if they had moved from one boatyard to another
It certainly kept me busy during the long dark nights of winter

Pubs You Miss
in Broads Chat
Posted
Somewhere at the very back of my memory I seem to recall a pub next to Kings Head in Wroxham (Hoveton to be politically correct.) The name I think was the Horseshoes and it's beer was very similar to our local brew at the time...Hull Brewery. I am going back to mid 60's
Can anyone shed any light on this or correct me if my memory is fading as it get older.
