All outboard engines Andrew a few fishing rods and bits n pieces including a bottle of something drinkable.

For what is worth, the look on Toto`s face could well have been the look on any team leaders face when you roll the dice and lose, RB played a blinder with the pit stops this time (another roll of the dice) and I`m hoping for much the same in the rest of the season.

Felt that there was a time in the race where a team should of switched drivers around and told driver B to go and pressure the leader in to burning his tyres up or forcing an error out of the leader.

Perhaps the ranger was from Lancashire!

I love the fact that lidl sell steaks individually wrapped, I bought a pack of 4 so can have steak every other day of my holiday, steak cooking, now to see what tinned produce to go with it, instant mash for sure
For anybody passing Postwick on the way to a boat, I hear a very large Lidi will be opening there late summer this year.

You could try one of the free online hearing tests, this is what alerted my partner that he needed a full hearing test.
Thanks, never knew such things existed.

it was 2-3 years ago and I honestly can't remember but I don't think I was given anything to bring away with me but "result for different tones" rings a bell. I think my test showed some loss of hearing but insufficient for any aid to be supplied on the health service.

Much can change in 2-3yrs and many places offer a free hearing test. Yes it is to get you through the door to sell but still worth doing if you have doubts about your hearing.

I'm pretty sure I would benefit from having hearing aids however when I was referred to specsavers for a hearing test by my Gp I was told that I did not need them. I must say that when I found that I would have to go to Specsavers my heart sunk somewhat as both Tony and I had very poor service from them. We even changed branches both were equally awful so I'm not sure what to do now.
Carole
Did they show you a graph showing your results for the different tones or print the graph off for you to keep.

Should anybody be out and about when a battery dies without having a new one upon them then Sainsbury's sell the s13 batteries. Other supermarkets may as well.

We live in Martham, Norfolk. Although Specsavers are recognised Audiologists for some of the county this is not the case for our GP.
I also live in Norfolk so it could it be Scrivens who use Starkey products (who I was referred too) and my quoted reply was in response to anothers posting.

Metals do conduct heat, some more than others and the anchors laying down on their sides rather than standing up with the bbq on top would get very hot.

Dont think the NHS will offer you the in the ear type on the NHS, certainly they were not offered in Norfolk and my batteries last longer than a week. Specsavers, Boots and others are now in the hearing aid market but wouldnt say it is farmed out to them unless it varies to where you live.

Hi Tyna as I've got Cochlear implant I'm glad to be away from the NH S Hearing Aids . To be honest Tyna it all depends upon his Hearing loss is? Two Private hearing test can help your partner but go to a well known good Hearing place . The N H S did not serve me very well due them treated me like Grandad and just shove me off saying that the best they can do for me untill going to an ENT Surgeon cause I had a terrible Earache now got theses Cochlear implant it's great to be Hearing once since 2019 . A message to Griff watch out with me Hearing now as I still lip read . So Tyna a lot to think about for your Partner. Yours Andrew
Andrew, you had very severe hearing loss and yes we never forget lip reading do we

I am currently wearing two NHS over the ear type and find them to be heavy and liable to fall out and in to the water if I bend over. Also so much depends on them being set up for what you feel is a true sound and how they fit around the ear. The lady I see has no problems with me going back and asking for more or less volume, bass or treble as she understands what sounds good in her room sounds different in the outside world.
However as soon as I return to earning a wage again I will then pay the 2k and go back to two in the ear type aids where I can press a button and answer the mobile whilst people think I am talking to myself
and I am not worried about them falling in the water.

Good luck Ian but I fear he wont be able to tell you who due to a clause in a contract.

Remember reading about a new or refurbed basin with moorings to let earlier this year, somewhere near Hunters yard, Ludham perhaps.

Wonder if two brothers from Wroxham will buy it 😏
Talking to somebody moored there and it has now been sold, the two brothers were mentioned but it seems nobody knows for certain.

Although we live in Norfolk, we have never really used the Broads as much as we should, other than a few day boats over the years and a weeks holiday back in the early 80's. Things are about to change. A weeks boys ( OK, we are all in our 50's. 3 of us ) only holiday in September which will consist of meandering on the water, a few glasses of wine, a little fishing possibly and some great meals in some great pubs hopefully. And.... I'm looking to buy a boat, but they are selling so quickly that is proving harder than expected. Looking forward to catching up with all on here with whatever questions may arise.
What sort of boat and budget may we ask, sometimes people hear of boats being sold before they go to brokers.

I have a Sterling Power Modified Sine Wave inverter on board Karizma and understand that they are little restricted on what you can use them for when needing 240v.
Whilst getting to know the boat over the last few months, we've realised we don't really need it, other than for operating the microwave on occasions!
Question is: i'd really like to use it to keep the MacBook Pro charged up whilst 'off grid' but have been concerned if it would damage the charger (or the laptop) if I plug it in to a MSW inverter.
Anybody been 'brave' enough to try one? and was it ok?
Could try asking Sterling or an agent of theirs if nobody here answers.

Scoreline slightly flattering, you had a couple of decent chances and I wouldnt blame the goalkeeper for the second goal what so ever.

You should hear them before you see them - lovely sound.
