Popeye

With regards to giving your name and address to some person trying to fleece you for money. You do not have to give your name and address to a police officer unless you are being arrested so why would you give it to a person employed by BA.

Oh well, I will just save my petrol and not visit the Ranworth bit then. Sorry pub, store and the café for my lost trade. My drinks store is well stocked as well as the grub stakes and I have a preference to wild moorings anyway. Its bad enough listening to roaring diesels, uncouth loud mouthed inconsiderate people and barking dogs in the morning without paying for the privilege of doing so.

I did not get that particular e mail from "Microsoft". Well, I have just sorted out my Outlook account and set a new password, there appears to be no problem now and all the "sent" e mails have stopped and been deleted. I am monitoring the account to make sure its working ok and will scrap it and set a new account with somebody else if I have any more trouble. There are also other scams on another e mail provider I use, purporting to come from Microsoft, asking me if that e mail address was correct for a "password recovery" address for another e mail address which I do not have. There was a box to click but I smelt a rat and deleted the e mails and deleted the account and set up a new account. It was only a throw away account anyway so no problem. Also, there is an update on my virus scan that came through and an update on the actual computer gubbins. Everything is working ok here. Take care everybody.

I think that is the answer. Adjacent the quarry on this map there is an area marked "Brick Field". The flints I mentioned in the original post were probably incidental to the main purpose of obtaining marl but no doubt they were used for building too.

Take care anybody with the above e mail accounts. I have just had trouble with my outlook account and e mails were being sent through it all over the World purporting to be from Microsoft Edge and telling people that money would be credited to their accounts. Check your e mail outboxes in the first instance. Microsoft are taking steps to squash this outbreak of problems so you should be receiving a communication from Microsoft soon to let you protect your accounts.

No, there is nothing indicated on any maps which is rather strange. The whole area is wooded so it will not be visible from the air. Thanks for the input of other forumites.

I have been on this railway a few years ago. Go there if you can, it is a really good and interesting day out and as the OP stated, Aylsham is a lovely town.

I can only surmise that the flint was used to build houses in the traditional Norfolk way and in all possibility, the limestone or chalk that flints are found in was burned to make quicklime for the lime mortar that was used years ago. No doubt the Bure was an excellent means of transporting the heavy cargoes of flint around the Broadland area.

A few days ago I had occasion to walk up the hill from the Castle Moorings on the River Bure at Wroxham to get some petrol (my wallet has now recovered from the shock!) and noticed what appears to be an old quarry dug out of the hillside next to the path. It appears to be an old flint quarry as evidenced in the flints buried in the footpath and some large stones which appeared to be flints being pulled up from the bottom of the river by some local lads who were swimming there. I have had a look around on the internet but can find no information about this quarry. Does anybody know anything about it?

Not at all. You were doing the correct thing. The Ant is a lovely little river and not a race track. Incidentally, I have noticed, apart for a few speedheads that the general speeds on the rivers is much lower recently. Probably the fuel prices are making people think before grabbing handfulls of throttle.

Looks like it will be for quite a while too, just seen the weed cutter going upstream on the Bure, probably to cut up at Coltishall where that grassy stuff is getting a bit thick.

That's it, I give up! I have been doing it wrong all my life. I received a poxy education at a downright rough school, managed to get a few GCEs heaven knows how because the school was rubbish, got a steady job that I stuck with for many years, bought my own house and boat and paid all my taxes no matter what and it appears that all around me are living it up at my expense. What a World we live in, honesty has no value anymore.

I am sure if I wrote a letter to BA it would end up in the vertical filing cabinet.

What I was getting to in my post is, how many of those craft are licensed? Ok, it is great to see young people abandoning their phones which they pay a fortune for but how many of them are spending what is quite a reasonable sum to license their craft? An unpowered craft costs peanuts to licence but are they licensed I ask? As I said in my original post, I am not against paddle boards or canoes provided they are licensed. And what about insurance? Now that is another can of worms.

I wonder how much that light has cost to run over the countless years I have been on the Broads.?
