SEAMASTER

Oh my god that's holiday from hell. At least you've got through it and your wife is ok now. Crikey mine was minor to that. If that had happened to me I would of sunk the junk or planted it straight in quay and they would of been wearing the boat.

Yes I do agree with his comments. What's the problem with that. I have explained some of the problems Rudeness is one thing I can not stand especially when I'm paying for something. I explained earlier. I can't remember all the things as it was a few years back now. The impression stays and never goes. Toilet issues was one big problem blocking. Got accused of using wet wipes. Tv Ariel broke never worked. Got accused of hitting on a bridge. And other things.. so does that answer your question or are you still not convinced.

Well Robin you've pointed out this needs to be balanced and I have pointed out on my side and others who need to express there side. What doesn't make it balanced is when others jump on the band wagon who have never hired or had any dealings with them saying. I'm surprised you've said that about silverline, because my mates, mates, aunts, brothers, sons, girlfriends mums, dog goes for a walk on there and there brilliant. Well That's not balanced. Even a Mod made 2 comments regarding about it. Now is that being balanced or biased. It's pretty sad if you can not comment on a subject. This Great Britain not North Korea. What's a plus side is this is broads related.

I was stating a fact on the other thread. Why I said silverline was the worse out the lot. I didn't go into reason as i was pointed out It had no reason for it to be mentioned on there. So now I have explained my side. So perhaps others who totally disagree to what I have posted can see the truth I have told you. And yes if you want to still disagree you carry on. As I've pointed out, it was my holiday and not yours. You might know them as friends or been there many times as come a back customers but I won't be either of them. And I won't be changing my mind over it. If I ever do decide to ever hire south again it will either be with Broom or Freedom boats. At least they give a homely welcoming. And yes I've stopped at both to have pump outs and water. And I thought then what friendly helpful yards they are.

I fully understand locals know better than non locals. I mean when I quoted about silverline, it was to say I wouldn't go back, due to the fact I didn't like there attitude towards me and my family I found them Rude and obnoxious and a frosty reception. To me that kills any future business with me. I don't care if they had a solid gold plated boat I wouldn't go back. Manners and politeness cost nothing. We was all taken back by it. We couldn't fault the boat at all except asking for a couple of extra pillows was like trying to pull teeth out of a live crocodile. "You should of put that down on your pre booking form not telling us now" things like that stick in ones head. At the end of the day I'm the customer. We have paid you a lot of money to hire your boat. And if other customers have had that, they should speak out. When we got back I complained to hoseasons. They was very good, and they apologised, shame silverline didn't. Tell you the truth I'm not bothered it was there loss and are gain. Obviously Scrumpy has had a bad experience there to. And where others on here say they can not do no wrong. I'm not surprised he hasn't made a statement in the past what had happened. And I totally agree what Baitrunner has posted.

Can I ask, why has the other thread been locked?

Well said baitrunner. I've not been a full member on this site for long I've been viewing as a guest from time to time. As I've been on other Norfolk broads forums. And viewed and read comments. But I'm quite shocked by the negative non comments when someone puts up they've had a bad experience no one wants to hear. Baitrunner is right. You can't talk about poor scrumpy and his poor wife's bad experience saying this has nothing to do with the thread. so if that's the case. What's this thread got to do with tar varnish.?? You can talk about that. But if you read my comment I use to hire from Royalls and richardsons and Barnes. And I had a bad one at silverline. Then you all come out say oh there wonderful. Or oh he is a nice bloke. Oh I can't see that. Not oh that's not good some poor sods holiday was ruined. It would be a bit different if it was someone else or another firm. What is it then, is this site sponsored by silverline so no members can't say anything negative or report on a crap holiday,

That's terrible. I hope your wife got over her devastating time. It's awful when you have to shorten your hard earned holiday. Can we ask what went so bad?

Be interesting if any others on here who have had bad experience with them. It's different if your friends with them. When your paying customer and things are not right. Then you've got every right to say.

Calm down dear it's only a ladder. I was only pointing out what Mr Rascal had done. It wasn't a nasty comment just a comment of what he done. He would of said to anyone else if they had posted a video of them. It's abit of fun.

Your very lucky then because are time was awful and unfriendly and I know of others who have had the same unfriendliness. Shame tho stop us hiring on the southern side.

Hired from Royalls a few times in the past lovely finished boats great friendly service and a pleasure to have hired from them. I would of said they was the best Yard I hired from. You don't get that from the bigger yards. I've Hired from Richardsons and Barnes and even the worse hire I've had at silverline it's sad to see the Royalls brand gone.

An enjoyable blog there enjoyed it. One has to point out there tho mooring over a ladder is no no and as a professional boat as yourself should of known better and should be setting an example tut tut.

This has made my day. Brilliant
