  1. He said he was fishing on Monday, though I did wonder why he waited until today to post his observation. Perhaps the boredom of the closed season has kicked in already!
  2. I also think that since the BA re-piled the end nearest the recycling, that end is slightly narrower than it was. The new piling went in front of the old I believe.
  3. As long as beer comes out of it though, I don't really see an issue with that!
  4. Probably just the BA coming out of Winter hibernation and suddenly realising that Easter is quite early this year. Not like the dates can be worked out well in advance So a rushed update to the website. Will be interesting to see how eager the troops are to collect the mooring fee though.
  5. A PDF print out of the page has been created and saved should anyone have the need to use it as supporting evidence! It has the update at the top and the times of moorings fees being collected further down. Being staffed does not necessarily mean being chargeable. I note elsewhere on the page it states Ranworth is staffed from 9am to 6pm during the Summer months, which depending on your definition is the 1st June to the 1st September, or 21st June to 21st September. Yacht stations and staffed moorings.pdf
  6. Yet on that link further down it clearly states the following Day mooring £5. Overnight mooring until 10.00am the next day £10. Powered boat use of dinghy dyke £3. All charges only apply in the main season from April to October.
  7. I've enjoyed a tour of the brewery and also been to the bar a few times. If your in that part of the world there's a very good Nepalese restaurant called The Mountain View not too far away. I'm finding myself becoming increasingly annoyed at the actions of the big brewers. Generally small craft brewers tend to sell beers at a premium which reflects their smaller economies of scale, lower production volumes and higher overheads. All of which I can accept and don't mind paying a premium for a premium or craft, or small batch product. However increasingly the bigger boys are coming along, buying up the brewery and then suddenly production goes up tenfold, quality suffers and the price stays the same, generating huge profits for the brewery until people migrate away from the beer due to inferior quality. A classic example is Neck Oil from Beavertown brewery. It was started by Robert Plants son. Certainly was never sold at a cheap price and was only offered in a few places. Heineken came along and bought 49% of the brewery and production ramped up. Then Heineken bought the remaining 51% of the shares and expanded production again to the point where it is pretty much everywhere. The taste and quality has suffered, but the economies of scale and massive profits being made are not being reflected in a lower more mainstream price. Heineken have done the same 49% then 51% trick with the Brixton Brewery and again it is appearing everywhere at a premium price tag. Meantime, excuse the pun, Meantime beers are now past their prime and the star is fading as people realise the mass production has led to a drop in quality and are seeking other small craft beer producers.
  8. Now look what you've started Gracie!
  9. It is good, but in the meantime the damage and division is still being done elsewhere. At least the publicity seeking, self serving Youtuber, will get a few pennies out of it.
  10. This forum is moderated, but if you take a look at other social media sites and comments sections, then the jar has been well and truly shaken sadly!
  11. No Gracie no! I will not be changing my profile pic to a picture of a glass of Prosecco! I'll have you know I have plenty of joke books, only the Mods won't let me post the good ones There's at least 500 still awaiting authorisation. I still post them because at least the Mods get to see the good ones. I'm only joking by the way!
  12. When I saw this thread, I thought I was going to be reading some bad news about my self then. I quite like the sound of Dark Star! They say a change is as good as a rest.
  13. Let me make myself 100% clear. I am only talking about and discussing the incident shown in the video posted at the start of this thread, not any other boater / fishermen incident. I am talking about this specific incident.
  14. I am not standing up for the actions of the anglers, or doubting the account of the people onboard Moonlight Shadow. At no point have I even mentioned them, I don't even know them. On the other hand as much as I wouldn't like to meet those two anglers, I'd like to meet that particular boater even less!
  15. I fully agree, but we must remember we are only being shown, what someone wants us to see! The innocent boater coming in to moor, is the same person who filmed three innocent BA employee's going about their paid work, turning off and covering over an electric post at Sutton Staithe. He then posted a 5 minute video on Youtube of the three BA employees. They had the patience of a saint on that day. There is more to this latest sorry saga than we are being shown. Believe none of what you read and only half of what you see!
