    My Day

    Ian, It does but it won't get it I'm afraid, those figures are largely sums that will be spent elsewhere along the coast. Money will be found for GY the rest will keep get bandaids and temporary fixes, in other words Managed Retreat, there was some hope in a policy of Hold The Line but that isn't going to happen.

    My Day

    Look at Happisburgh to see what the future holds for Hemsby and Winterton Ian. There are lots of committees and consultations and plans, no shortage of worthy investigations.. in fact the only thing in short supply is money. So the platitudes and fancy names for giving up will continue until the day we are forced to pay to demolish our own houses and are relocated like internal refugees.
  4. As others have said, just ring them, there's no clearer water than that from the horses mouth... if it hadn't been forced to drink. If I may mix as many metaphors as possible πŸ˜‚
  5. From their website - "Dogs are not permitted in the bedrooms upstairs" Pretty clear I'm afraid 🐾
  6. With age comes wisdom so I take a sip from everyone's pint before coming back from the bar.... it's the least I can do to stop folks from wasting beer! They'd thank me, if they knew I'm sure 🍺🍺🍺 😁
  7. It certainly does! More than one! Thanks again 🍺
  8. Thank you, it's very windy out and it's making it feel colder than it probably is! Speedy help from Rum Punch saves the day! 🍺
  9. Thank you! Now nice and warm and will reset time/day/clock later. πŸ‘
  10. Can't find this model online, it definitely works but up to now we've pushed random buttons. Is there a way to override the timer which I suspect we've accidentally set and just turn it on.. please lol Brrrrrr
  11. Not at all, it's something that creeps up on us all. Just a few weeks ago I read something about this by the NHS with some exercises and having nothing better to do tried them and I was genuinely shocked at how bad I was at them now as I always thought I had a good sense of balance!
  12. They wont.. everyone knows that grandparents are special people πŸ‘πŸΊ

    The Broads

    I'm pretty sure that everyone who has commented here likes to see people enjoying themselves, that's not really the problem, it's antisocial behaviour that ruins other people's enjoyment that's the problem!

    Who Agrees

    The article goes a bit over the top, the writer clearly has an axe to grind against all motor boats as a sail boat enthusiast. Having said that, the problem does exist of course but depriving everyone of a responsible tipple while on holiday because of the bad behavior of others won't wash!

    The Broads

    Our first boat holiday was in the early 80s, we hired the cheapest (oldest) boat available and a lot of our first ever handover was about turning the greasers and checking the oil every morning and mopping the decks. The water pump failed halfway across Barton and we had to be recovered. It was an adventure and we loved every minute of it and even though we were a young married couple we knew that somewhere in our future would be our own boat and living in Norfolk.

    The Broads

    And yet, up to a point, they are believable sadly. We can guess where both reviewers were talking about without trying too hard. It's not by any means all like that but that won't be obvious to people reading reviews. I'm not sure there is any answer to the problem as sadly their experience represents today's society "enjoying themselves" Have the Broads been mis-sold as a destination for so long that there is no turning back. If people came because it was "camping in nature on the water" rather than a "luxury yacht in Monte Carlo" It would improve for us that love it but possibly destroy local businesses.
  17. I have to say that I do support the application of the forum tos in this case. The report by the bbc above is very unhelpful in that a perception by a shocked and grieving relative must be taken in the wider context and not published before all testimony and evidence is heard, considered and summed up by those in possession of as much information as can be garnered. We only have to imagine ourselves for a moment as one of those involved to understand the feelings and perceptions that inform their comments.
  18. There is one listed here - https://en.parkopedia.co.uk/parking/carpark/blyburgate/nr34/beccles/?arriving=202304122300&leaving=202304130100 This is from a web search so I don't have personal knowledge of it's suitability but there's a phone number in the link to check details.
  19. Wow, luckily I've not seen anything like that! Clearly that is just spoiling things for everyone around them! Completely anti social πŸ™
  20. Over refreshing can be a problem... I'm told 😁 Presumably those in serious need of refreshment will find it anyway and those decent folks who would simply like a glass of wine with their picnic will be the only ones to suffer - it was ever thus πŸ™
  21. I was just looking at them (an ad popped up just as I was looking at sim contracts... go figure!) Good prices πŸ‘
  22. Lebara is looking like the way to go so far, their sim only prices easily beat BT even after the Broadband discount. I'm intending to drop the landline and TV packages altogether, they are pretty much redundant for us as long as we still buy a TV licence we can get what we need. BT offered me a deal... for only Β£10 more a month I could have exactly what I have now with a more exciting description πŸ™„
