Well, thanks for making me feel old. You did forget the paraffin man, A1 fish and chip van, grocery van, Pease pudding and ****** man, The chap on the bike with the sand stone wheel for sharpening knifes, shears. The Corona drink truck, The provident man, The pools collector, the list is endless.

Glad to see your back Jon, you've been missed.

I like sprouts. normally have mine with a sprinkle of vinegar, "lovely"

Being a grumpy BOG I'm glad it's over and your forced to come back to the real world. Seriously, if you've enjoyed the holiday ½ as much as I've enjoyed reading about it, then you must have had a good time.

In case the mods are interested, post 17 I think, is a quote from the original post/link, I've just tried and the link still works.

Peter, I know this will sound cynical, but, they might as well just send the bill to me! The BA will take the money from my toll. The boat builders would add the cost to the boat price. The hire yards would add the cost to the hire charge. The government would raise my taxes. At the end off the day it's always the end user that pay's the bill with no one to pass the cost onto. yours sincerely cynical downtrodden stone broke boater.

When in my previous post I mentioned BS (broads sailors) it has now become evident that some may have read this as brain storming, not wishing to cause confusion in my posts, I will refrain from using abbreviations with immediate affect. TTFN.

Sorry Geoff, This looks like a thread containing a lot of BS.

For the attention of the forum moderators, I always thought under the term of our TOS, intentionally making posts designed to upset other members was a no-no, Howard is posting stories and pictures, with the sole purpose of winding me up, all done whilst sampling the delights of Norfolk pubs. I'm green with envy Howard, keep the stories coming after all I am a masochist.

Hi Paul and Mary, It's nice to see you've found us.

does anyone know where the bus goes.

OK, thanks for this thread guys, it has just reminded me to take my medication.

I have a partial beard, never tried hanging baubles from it as they are kept under cover in my trousers.

I'm getting a little concerned now, I always thought when it asked for password that you just type it as seen "password" sounds like I need a change. :shocked

Steve, I hope you have told Father Christmas where you will be, he might not be able to find you.

Sorry Iain, I've been reading that wrongly for several months, I thought you had been moderated! Happy Christmas.

Ok. you can mod it now I've seen it. : Funny and unexpected.

Happy Christmas from Carol and myself, I hope you all get everything you're expecting, or should that be expecting everything you get. :wave

I guess what your trying to say Andy is that it was a sh-sh-sh-shabby idea.

A few years back Carol and I ate at a well known, and highly regarded waterside establishment, both of us had the same meal and whilst I thought it was nice, it wasn't Carols favourite and she left most of it. The waitress asked if everything was ok. and Carol explained it was fine but just not to her taste, when paying the bill the price of Carols meal had been deducted and even though we tried to explain there was no problem and didn't expect not to pay they insisted. What I'm trying to say in my long winded way, is all companies will get things wrong (or not in our case), what separates a good business from a bad business is how they treat you when things do go wrong.

This sounds like a good idea, if the venture took off there could be a fleet of poo-pumpers.

Whilst I do agree with the new limits, I also wonder how many people could be caught out the morning after, with the limit being so low just 2 or 3 beers the night before could easily leave you over the limit the following morning.

Saw a item on this mornings news about this, showed a road where if you turn right your ok at 79mg, if you go left your breaking the law.

I've never had a problem either Iain, but if you do get a problem the doctor can provide cream.

With most magazines they obviously target their readership with any review, unfortunately the people/products under review are also the advertising revenue stream.
