    And still, we want to "blame" someone for the response of people throughout the world who had impossible decisions to make - its all to easy now to look back with the benefit of hindsight!

    No blame attaches to the vast majority of decision makers doing their best in exceptional circumstances. Reviews all over the world of different approaches taken are very sensible in order that we can all be better prepared next time. If in rare cases these reviews reveal reckless behaviour then specific blame can and should be applied to those responsible if they caused more death and suffering... not through lack of knowledge which is understandable but as I say through reckless decisions.

  2. Things change.... today's youngsters will one day miss how things are now! It's just the way of the world I'm afraid.

    When we first visited Stalham it still had the wednesday market with an auctioneer walking from lot to lot laid out on the ground, loved it and miss it but I also used to think that a torch with different colour lenses that you could rotate through was high tech enough to be almost sci fi πŸ˜‚

  3. Looking good Malc, we are missing being under way too, it's been a long wet winter. We have some work booked with Paul as well.

    Once the season is under way it would be nice to meet up for a lunch again if you and your good lady are up for a pint and a bite πŸ™‚

    Following some issues I alluded to a while back we both now eat meat and drink alcohol again.... thank goodness πŸ˜‚

  4. It's easier to list the pubs that aren't dog friendly, the only 2 that have said no to us are the Ingham Swan and that big one in Oulton Broad who's name escapes me. In both cases outside was OK, no criticism intended, both are fine establishments who simply make their rules around the dining comfort of other patrons

    Lol - back in the day, Horsenden Hill was where youth would drive to for a late evening with their girlfriends, if you know what I meanΒ :default_icon_luvlove:

    I know exactly what you mean... and so does my Mrs! We both grew up in Greenford! Happy Days πŸ‘

  6. Can be very frustrating when hiring, the problems are a bit more manageable with your own boat (at least for a while) as 'there are steps you can take'... figuratively and literally.

    My mum is fond of saying "old age doesn't come alone" although she can't seem to get her head around the fact that both her children are pensioners!

  7. The way Ian lived his life was clearly reflected in the respect of so many.Β  A fitting send off for a genuine nice guy who's legacy includes making a real difference to others.

    RIP Ian

  8. Hopefully no one will ever need it but there is now a Defibrillator Cabinet, it is on the outside wall of the Temple on the side nearest the road.

  9. I believe Humber Coastguard task resources whenever they receive a 999 call, given that the volunteers at Hemsby ILB are regularly tasked clearly they are an important and much appreciated emergency service. If they need help relocating I have no doubt that the local community will do all they can. Just as our recently lost friend Ian did πŸ‘

  10. Ian was an inspiration in the way he dealt with all that life threw at him and despite those challenges was still actively helping others. He will be much missed.

    Sincere condolances to his family.
