  1. Hi The only real answer is to make the bridge navigable perhaps cut a slot at end of bridge then jack up road bridge by a foot along with a barrier gate. then herburt Woods price will come down along with a massive increase in trade for the shops that are there and further along to Hickling broad.

  2. It would be nice if they can  bring her home by train so every body along the route has a chance to stand track side to pay there respects. I remember as a boy standing by the track side as this huge gleaming Black steam train decked out passed by taking her father from Sandringham back to London. This Memory has never left me. There where many pictures in the papers or every crossing along the route of people standing showing there respects for him as he went by.John

  3. I would have thought day boats would only need a pee hardly polluting if they need to do a poo i would have thought the first stop would be a pub the fishermen that are there all night are the culprits and signs wont stop them. And how on earth a land owner can be prosecuted if someone trips while walking uninvited on there land beats me. John

  4. Hi Maurice Pre we always avoided sailing during school holidays as they were (in our experience) busier) if weather was good we would just spend the time on our mooring, perhaps driving some where visiting . John

  5. Hi Kpnut The supermarkets will sell you water in big containers and deliver to your boat. luckily i have a well so that enables me to extract up too 11 cubic meters of water a day with out any restrictions. John

  6. Hi I Blame the letting agents first! every year they try to get me to agree to up the rents,   this year (June) they told me the retail property market prices have increased by 10% and would i like to increase mine by 8%.they dont appear to want to reward good tenants by not increasing the rent. Plus how can they substantiate that amount, it hasn't cost me no more this year than last year to rent them.just one of them has cost me £124=00 for four fence panels result of high winds . I suspect this tea room property will now be empty,the owner will now have to pay council tax on it, electricity meter rent plus water rates along with the likely hood of the property getting vandalized, all for being greedy. Its the rental market that is increasing prices.the ball then just rolls on. I will stop now  before blood pressure rises Gr!Gr1. John

  7. Hi Rodger I would forget wind turbines get a solar panel this will charge 18/7 is your fridge 240v ac  12v dc  gas ? do you have a battery charger/inverta ? you need to find out about these before you rush into buying things. You could well find that you will want to upgrade to a bigger boat so dont go mad and buy stuff that you wont want long term. A user hand book on the broads, a boat hook, is a good start along with checking that your ropes are long enough 1 1/2 boat lengths long, you will need 4.  ref extra petrol cans remember you might have to walk some way to refill it, and only use super 5 grade not 10 grade. if you want advice on your boat suggest you make a inventory of what you already have on board,you will then get correct advice, just take your time and enjoy the new experience its very easy,  just think before you jump.

  9. Hi Orion If sailing on the inshore route watch out for the crab pots the first pot posts can be hard to see just remember that once you see the first one all the rest of that string are in a straight line just adjust your track accordingly. Also have decent pr of sunglasses with a safty string. John

  10. Hi Back in the 70's80's i used to stick a diesel badge/motif on rear of my petrol car to stop petrol being stolon perhaps now a petrol badge on a diesel car might be in order. John
