  1. Vaughan, I replied as I see it based on my experiance so nothing I wrote puts anybody in their place nor do I look down on anybody or anything, indeed those that know me in real life I would hope would tell you that I am not that sort of man. In the first draft I did say that many feel the same as you do about the place but reading back I see that I then edited that out and now wishing I hadnt! On the subject of points being simply missed. Yes the Woods End, now called Waters Edge by the way, was a different pub way back and may have had a traditional feel but for whatever reason it was sold and the new owners made it something different than what it was. This happens a lot as is it happening right now to the Yare (White Heron). Now to say if they couldnt handle normal passing trade and a wedding reception at the same time then the owners shouldnt be running a riverside pub is quite frankly astounding much like your insistance to name drop at every opportunity! You have a nice day now.
  2. I would take a guess that your first experiance might happen there infrequently rather than on a regular basis so perhaps purely bad luck with your timing and I myself have always experianced a warm welcome from Lee and the staff there but understand that others have not for whatever reason, the most common being people demanding rather than asking. I must agree The Waterside Inn, Bray with its Al La Carte menu is indeed a very nice place in a nice setting having eaten there many a time with clients and I am pretty sure that with enough notice and a thick wallet you could book the entire dining area for a wedding reception there as well.
  3. Understand what you say however you cant fault the food there or can you?

  5. Yes, it was meant to reopen in July then they found a snag so August and now due to reopen in September. Outside seating area has had a low wall built around it and a sump pump installed there to combat high water flooding. All looking "pretty" now on the outside but hoping it wont have "pretty" prices inside when it is finished but dreading the worst, ie £8 a pint!
  6. The only cafe in Brundall offers a choice of breakfast at around £6 - £8 per head and takeaway baps. It is clean and tidy inside with a garden out back. The only drawback for those on a boat who struggle with walking is the hill up to the village.

  8. The one that yours refered to has been editted so I guess your post was deemed pointless, but it was funny. Warning: Last time I asked the same Q I was given a short forum holiday!
  9. So say it is a six bearth boat at £ 660 to hire £660 split two ways = £330 and £660 split six ways = £110 So the question is how much does the two bearth boat cost to hire. Then there are some that would argue for a reduction because they have a smaller bed and come splitting up the food and drinks bill some might argue that they didnt eat meat or drink wine so they should pay less. Choose you crew mates with care!
  10. I watched a short article on how they make this and how it works even in low light situations then they applied the covering to items such as the bands of headphones to maintain charge and handbags to wireless charge mobile phones inside the bags.
  11. Dont forget that many places dont provide these faciliites and it is reflected in the mooring fee`s.
  12. Thought you would know her little quirks by now grendel.
  13. I am interested in the kind that can be walked on if anybody has them fitted. Thnks.
  14. I would agree that the quoted numbers dont add up on paper as presented as a profitable purchase but who is to say it will reach the guide price, are the current mooring fees on the low side or accurate for the area and is the site being used to it maximum excluding the moorings here.
  15. Another pub in Wargrave was the Horse and Groom but that was slightly out of the town. I thought the pub I had in mind was in Henley but then time can play tricks on the old brain.
  16. Cant remember the name just that it wasnt large pub in the centre. Looking at google maps was there ever a small pub in West St or the top end of Gravel Hill on the left?
  17. Vaughan, what on earth makes you think I would know the year better than you! Following links about her cancer the day her death was announced I did find a story where Cliff says that he met ON-J at a party when she was the girlfriend of Bruce Welch and how the two of them hit it off to become friends with ON-J and another girl going on a tour as backing singers and practical jokes being played on each other. The story ends with Cliff saying to be seen to be in a relationship with a women at that time would of been damaging to his career. I can tell a tale about being in the same pub as George Harrison one evening when a couple walked in asking about him and nobody let on that he sitting in a corner of the bar supping a pint. Opps, I just have!
  18. The blokes that prefered John Travolta? Find it quite funny how facts and memories vary of the Olivia & Cliff thing or non thing.
  19. Really! Has the very well known forum member asked you to speak on their behalf, if not I think the very well known forum member might agree that it was a good example to use without naming and shaming anyone.
  20. Could you learn how to lasso the post and pull the boat in MM And on the last point, I know of one member who would agree that it is always good that the other half can moor up should anything go wrong, ie head butting a low bridge for one.
