    You should see my hair though

    Yuk! Just had a peek through the fence. Usual suspects(s) Asbestos gloves advisory.

    I'm not bothering today. Me and Mrs Nog have booked slots in 2 pubs next week. Both, good, well run establishments. I'm going to see how it goes and I fully appreciate the caution folks have expressed on here. Having said that I've not really enjoyed drinking at home over the last 3 months and really hoping things will settle down in time.

    Not necessarily, they could argue that they could be slept in a minute past midnight. Maybe not strictly illegal but not in the spirit of the guidance. I bet there have been some pubs opening just after midnight. Again very dodgy but not illegal.

    I can see your point of view. However I'll still be in the pub (unless it's a Wetherspoons) You won't be missing much though (me that is, not the pub)

    Well spotted. Sack the proof reader. Well it is the EDP

    I had a walk up there a while back and shed a few tears over the Castle. A proper pub and it did good pub meals back in the day. Anyway this will be the mooring. Not a huge amount of it although it would be quite peaceful I would imagine. Its a fair hike if you wanted to walk into Wroxham/Hoveton though.

    Holiday reports hopefully Helen?

    .....external appearance doesn't tell everything. Someone who's opinion I totally respect looked at a boat recently. Looked OK from the outside but not good internally. It's not easy. An expert can spot flaws which are not immediately obvious.
  11. NorfolkNog
    I've a feeling this was the only boat on the Broads with a 1 rating but could be wrong. Good boats sell almost before they are advertised. If it's hanging around it will be for good reason.

    In August, an excellent idea. Best to book quick as there may be limited availability.

    Somebody should frame that! Wise words indeed! Particularly No 1

    I hired a cc Alpha from the same operator. Had a Beta engine directly under the helm floor and ran like a sewing machine. I would agree, depends on a whole host of factors., I think hydraulic drives are a bit more thirsty though.

    Fairly standard practice, I really wouldn't worry, coffee cup full of fuel. Also you don't know if it's being maintained or fuelled up ready to go. Folks are happy enough to run their engines on moorings so I really wouldn't worry.

    That's what I'd go for when the lottery comes up. Wonder why no prices? They always used to include them. Most of Richardsons second hand boats seem to be sub 40k. Advantage of an ex hire boat is it will have been serviced regularly.
  17. NorfolkNog
    That is a bit frowned on - yards make a small margin on the fuel - you would pay more in hire charge otherwise. Besides is it worth the bother? In 40 years hiring I've never been short changed on fuel by any of the yards.

    Paul is spot on there. I agree, just a ploy. It's so run down now it would take a lot of money and enthusiasm to get it trading properly again. It is tougher for pubs now then ever. But bear in mind it did trade successfully for many years and I don't think that it's a coincidence that the change of ownership runs parallel with its demise. I think, like the Beauchamp the intention was always alternative use.

    Pictured in happier days including the famous (or infamous) bouncy castle.

    Talking of strange houses cum boats anyone remember this one at Thorpe? (Bit of forum drift never comes amiss)
  22. NorfolkNog
    Not under the present ownership
  23. NorfolkNog
    Nail and head there
  24. NorfolkNog
    Can't get the link to work but bear in mind who owns it. The lockdown could be a good excuse to prove (allegedly) it's not viable as a pub. Most (not all) pubs can be viable in the right hands and when there is a genuine will to succeed. Watch this space.

    Apologies Andrew, got the wrong end of the stick there
