  1. You get a reduction for not using mutford lock already, about £13 reduction each time you don't use it.
  2. Cantley has a pretty wide slip beside the pub.
  3. Or a de-flatable hull would have similar effect.
  4. No leave the bridge well alone, it was there before any boat that is still on the broads and while the smug gits on smaller cramped boats are that side of the blockage they are not in my way on the proper southern rivers....
  5. I would imagine the side arches are pretty clogged too, I have to admit I can't remember what the bridge looks like now as I never go up that way anymore (I'm never going to get 8'8" under at anytime, ever), most bridges in a flowing river have a bit of height difference if they restrict the flow in anyway. Haven is pretty impressive for it's level change in a good flow, often with a standing wave underneath which is pretty nerve wracking when you are bit close on clearance.
  6. Nah, just too many overweight Scots moving down here.....
  7. Not if the road has also sunk, what vertical datum were they measuring from?
  8. "As they already have responsibility for flooding and experience in running other river systems hand the navigation over to the EA." Nooooooo! You'd never see a dredger again!
  9. In white stilettos dancing around a handbag..... There you go Marshy, I'd hate to disappoint.
  10. I thought we took turns! It's like village idiot surely, it's the only reason moved my boat to norfolk, the cambs. village idiots just don't sink to my level! I must point out that I am actually very well behaved on here, I generally sink to a much better level of 'wrong' in everyday life, but everyday life doesn't have moderators.
  11. Never did understand clay pidgeon shooting, that's got to be the worst pie ever! (I've probably cooked tougher meals)
  12. Have to say no, it was just a light hearted Mickey take with emoji to show it as such. You can't deny it about the old ones though.
  13. CG would be the best call in that situation, there is a lifeboat station down near the entrance with proper offshore boat. A mudweight would probably not even slow your progress in that situation just give you more chance of losing what manouverability you do have when it gets in the prop. Grendels comment is good but there's a lot of hazards at the side down there in the way of shipping not to mention the sides of haven bridge, get between a ship and the quay and you are in serious trouble, or in tritons case you could get under it.
  14. Good job you're not into nortons right now..... I prefer Yamaha, like a triumph but without the oil tray underneath.

    High Water

    With enough throttle and a good run up you never know, you might get through..... Well bits might get through.
  16. That is only because 'the other place' got there first. It feels so pathetic having to refer to 'the other place', most forums don't have a problem with other forums being mentioned.
  17. And don't post after too much beer! I'm not saying that their is such thing as too much beer, it's currently just a theory that needs further research.......
  18. It's working fine for me, are you sure you've not been banned?
  19. A large willow tree is on it's side just round the corner from my house, it's now smaller and my log pile has grown..... Willow's not the best by any means but when it's that close I'll have it, it'll get 2 years to season anyway before I get to it.
  20. And to add to the happy thoughts, I just heard on the local news that the A14 at cambridge is due to be opened properly in spring 6 months early , well done to those contractors indeed, they got the other bit open a year early too, not something you hear often these days on big projects. That will be my journey easier.
  21. Yes, stop drinking all that beer, it can't help.
  22. I would mount the shunt on the bulkhead nearby not directly to the battery, have starter cable straight to battery and rest via shunt, you just need a cable to link. Yours are just on eyes once you undo that butterfly nut.
  23. Don't ever be afraid to post something in case someone disagrees with it, your opinion is as valuble as anyone's, just don't take it hard when someone gets on their high horse as it's usually down to the way things come across in text.
  24. My marbles, no not playing marbles, MY marbles....
