    Could never understand why , if you want to watch a programme on any channel on your hard earned telly you are only allowed to do so if you pay an extortionate amount of money to a company that is not supplying you with what you want

    It's like saying "if you want a McDonalds you must pay Burger King first !"

    Having had another look at the photo reminds me of the first impressions of the "new look" Ferry Inn at Horning when it first had a change of outside colour scheme a few years ago although that was not as severe as this one.

    Vat Tourism Cut To 5%

    Hoseasons are using some very confusing excuse not to drop the VAT to 5% though so having to pay the full 20% for our September holiday, needless to say will never book with them again.

     

    Sounds like a very easy way to lose a lot of future bookings.

    Goes to show that Hoseasons is nothing like the company many of us know from many many years ago.

    How many of those 12 million schoolkids are wearing masks in shops?

    How many of those 12 million schoolkids are required to take any precautions against catching or passing on a man made virus which is blamed for everything that happens?

    I wonder if there would be any legal repercussions if the boatyards were to put an entry in their "skippers handbook"  telling hirers they must not moor outside a certain establishment on the southern rivers.

    They can tell you not to go through certain bridges without a pilot and to go round a yellow post at Gt. Yarmouth so why not "DO NOT MOOR HERE YOU ARE NOT WELCOME"   ??????

    I cannot understand why the noise factor is seen as such a huge problem.

    Some years ago I worked for the local council and remember having to visit establishments which had entertainment licences.

    some of these establishments had restrictions placed on the licence regarding the time when the playing of music ( live or recorded) had to cease and some even had restrictions re the level of the noise allowed . This involved the fitting of equipment which monitored the noise level and if it got above the permitted level it automatically switched off the speakers for 5 minutes

    Could this idea be used in the granting of the licence?

    Face Coverings.

    It amazes me that it has taken so long for the government to decide that everyone should be wearing a mask or alternative face covering.

    Very easy to sit in an ivory tower and decide that this is what everyone should do. It would be easier for me to accept if the government official who decided this would be the latest requirement  also said that everyone would be supplied with masks so that we could carry out the latest (very late) idea.

    As a pensioner whose wife is disabled and under "house arrest" we have not had any sort of help either practical or financial at all but we are expected to conform to all requirements including finding out where these masks/ shields are available and then having to obtain them.

    Land And Houseboat Up For Auction

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I was told several years ago when Buccaneer boats at Brundall first introduced Willow Lodge that the only way you could introduce a new houseboat to the broads was as a replacement for an existing one.

    Not sure if this is still the case or whether the BA will now allow additional new ones

    MM,

    I would have to be so hot I would be melting before I even considered drinking lager. Can't understand why people think it is so wonderful.

    Give me a proper ENGLISH (if I am allowed to say that) pint of bitter any day

    At the moment all sport is still restricted with no spectator involvement, the current relaxations allow enough why try and push the boundary's.

    Has anyone else noticed that they are showing football with recorded crowd noise.

    Is this so that the blokes kicking a ball across a patch of grass get a reminder of why they are there.......can't do it without instructions !!!!!!!!!

    Could We Talk About The Broads Please?

    It seems to me that a lot of people would enjoy an extension to the "voluntary" ban on the use of the "C" word (the one which occurs every December).

    Could we impose a ban on the use of another "C" word which is more current? Getting bored with statements being made and then being told that it don't mean what you think it means.
