I saw elsewhere someone talking about oil from boats getting into the water. When I had a BSS test done earlier this year on the Broads I had to have a filter fitted to my bilge pump outlet. I think this is a very good idea personally. To be fair I did also have the option of removing the bilge pump but that felt like a terrible option. When I’ve had BSS’s done in the past (not on the Broads) I haven’t needed a filter on the bilge pump. So is it a Broads thing? A new thing? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for all the comments. You’ve convinced me I definitely need a boat that will go under Potter, I’m not one for crowds. To be clear, I wasn’t trying to provoke an argument, just trying to learn. Is there an official or generally accepted cut off between north and south? Breydon? GY? Confluence of the Bure and Yare? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ricardo’s post on another thread made me think about this so rather than hijack that one ... here we are. Do you think there’s a big difference between the northern and southern Broads? In what way? Is there a degree of them and us? Which do you prefer and why? Apologies if this has already been done to death. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Support on the TapaTalk forum used to be ok too. It’s been a while since I used that though to be fair. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Might be worth checking the version of the Tapatalk plugin on the server is up to date. Mine seemed to be working ok and I didn’t notice the problem until I quoted a post and there was loads more text than I’d seen before. But maybe all the posts are more wordy than I’m seeing (but that’s very hard to believe [emoji57]) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve had a letter from the police because I was speeding through a village according to a community speed check. I would have been a lot more convinced of the value of this if they’d been near the school in the village. But they were hidden next to the end of speed limit sign at the end of the village, past the last house, where there’s no footpath and downhill from the canal bridge. Clearly just trying to collect as many numbers from speeders as possible. Not saying they all do that but “mine” certainly were. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah, all rubbish. Just not quite as rubbish as Android and Windows in my experience. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

TapaTalk Web view (ironically from within TapaTalk) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Is something wrong with TapaTalk here? I’m seeing different posts on the web vs TapaTalk. For example, post 355 on big changes ahead. TapaTalk is only showing me the last paragraph but the web is showing me many paragraphs. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Haha, I like that a lot. When we had moles (or perhaps a mole) someone suggested sticking kids windmills in the ground (the little plastic ones on a stick). I thought they were taking the Mick but I tried it and the moles did move on. Allegedly they don’t like the vibration. This is where you say you tried that and it made no difference [emoji57] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They look good too thank you but too heavy for my needs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That one looks nice too. My main criteria is the weight as my better half needs to potentially get it in and out of her car alone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks very much for that. This one looks very interesting. http://www.excel-inflatables.co.uk/inflatable-boats/inflatable-boat-sl200.php I haven’t seen a “proper” one that light before. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Does anyone have any experience of small folding boats? Any recommendations for something light enough to be carried by one person, will fit into a smallish car and can be assembled in a few minutes? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sounds great. Are you managing plenty of time on the boat? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I suspect lots of people are starting this same topic [emoji57] I’d love to know what people think about this. Not whether the Broads should be (or even is) a national park or whether the Broads Authority do a good job but whether commercialism is needed. I think commercialism is essential for the Broads because .... Without boats on the water there would be a lot less people visiting. Without commercialism there would be no one to sell or hire people boats. Without the income from boating the BA would be unable to maintain the Broads The Broads were cut for commercial purposes initially. They aren’t a natural feature and would revert to marshland without maintenance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In my opinion it’s a real shame that another person feels the need to leave because they feel they can’t openly express their views. Personally I like the idea that we can have open debate but maybe that puts me in the minority. I don’t agree that commercialism of the Broads is bad but I think it’s sad Soundings feels the need to leave here because he does. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve got a BlackVue. Lots of features. I like the ability to view the camera from anywhere a lot. But doesn’t do the basics as well as it should IMO. It often reboots itself. Often after a few annoying minutes of saying “check SD card” over and over. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Earlier it was saying sold out for me too ☹️ But just tried again and it worked [emoji3] It’s nearly five minutes since I ordered it and it still hasn’t been delivered, what’s going on? [emoji57] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hours of fun ..... I was once told we needed a paradigm shift. I asked in what context. I was told we needed to shift the paradigm as an explanation. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I’ve been lucky enough to avoid that one. I always think it’s funny that person A thinks person B must be clever because person A doesn’t understand what person B is saying. I just think person B is a c**p communicator. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
