[Just returned from a nightmare broads visit, help!]

I have a sneaky suspicion that this matter is being posted on the other forum or by coincidence is it almost the same kind of tale of woe!!

[HYPOCRISY ON THE FORUM !!]

Ferryman - this is not the place to name and shame a particular boatyard. If the original poster wants to have his matter dealt with then as he has said he will do it the correct way. Nothing is gained by naming and shaming. We (the Royal We) are not hypocritical as you suggest.

[Just returned from a nightmare broads visit, help!]

Without naming or shaming the OP probably feels better for getting it off his chest. I am sure he will follow the correct procedure and hopefully if the company is worth its salt this will be nipped in the bud and everyone will feel better. Having absolutely no idea what happened or why it is a bit difficult for any of us to have an opinion. I have always found that if you go to the very top of the company Chief Executive or Managing Director or the owner you tend to sort matters out extremely quickly.

Dont be put off , one rotten apple and all that. We are a good bunch up here, private boaters, hirers, boat yards etc, give us all a second chance.

Come back another time to the Broads and forget all about this previous episode whatever it was - life is too short believe me.

[A few pics]

Got to say what fantastic photos. Love the ones at the top on the low tide. Really magical.

[Not sure if I sould ask but....]

Still dont know if I ought to ask but - how is the other forum. Dont like to see people hurt in this way not anyone.

[Not sure if I sould ask but....]

Definitely no right at the moment.

[Boat stuck under St Olaves Bridge]

The tide is very high at the moment or rather it was about an hour ago.

[Not sure if I sould ask but....]

I tried to update my email address this morning and it says Norton is blocking it, so can only assume the gremlins are still at it.

[Not sure if I sould ask but....]

We have Norton and that reported it and told you all about it. Thank goodness for Norton that is all I can say.

[Not sure if I sould ask but....]

For those of us who dont use facebook we will just have to keep logging in. What an awful world we live in that this can happen. I dont know whatever next. Someone must get some kind of pleasure out of wrecking peoples lives.

[Not sure if I sould ask but....]

Dare I ask has something happened to the Norfolk Broads Forum. Please delete if not allowed to mention on here.

[Not sure if I sould ask but....]

Doesnt he run Norfolk Broads Org

[Useful Web Sites for Boat Owners]

May be this should be in useful links please?

[Useful Web Sites for Boat Owners]

Can these go into the useful websites

Rope Services Uk - supplier of mooring rope etc. Half the price and twice the quality of some chandleries.

Pacermarine - supplies of fenders , and all manner of items from engines to a life bouy for a boat - also half the price of most chandleries.

[Musiclive Broads Photos Web pages]

I have thoroughly enjoyed looking through your photos this morning. Where did all the nonsense come from about 'rubbish photos'. Wish I could take such rubbish snaps.

Thank you for sharing them with us.

[POPPING MY BROADS CHERRY - WITH A DISASTEROUS CONCLUSION]

As we are talking about Caley Cruisers - what did everyone make of the toilets on board. We went about 15 years ago and it was archaic. You had to put the toilet seat down and pump for all your worth for ages. The opening in the loo was so tiny it was about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch across. I will leave it to your imagination as to how difficult it was to flush anything away. Never again.

Lock Ness was like the North Sea on a bad day - terrifying.

[Norwich "Morrisons" moorings - caution!!]

Thanks folks, just had about 1/2 hr of just deleting loads of numbers. Have put in the fresh ones. Hope we never need them but you never know.

[Norwich "Morrisons" moorings - caution!!]

As I appear to have umpteen phone numbers in my mobile number for River Control etc - can someone let us have the correct telephone number to call in this kind of circumstance please. Also if anyone has the telephone number for the control at Breydon that would be very useful.

[Anyone lost a Springer Spaniel??]

I have read that the dog and its owners have been re-united. Thank goodness for that.

[Broad Ambition]

What are they jet propelled. That is quick isnt it. Do hope they get back safely.

[What an appalling shambles!]

We switched off in the end. Thought the BBC without constant adverts for car insurance would have been the best but like you I think they had lost the plot.

[Pump Out Facilities Southern Broads]

Thank you I will print out the list.

[Pump Out Facilities Southern Broads]

Is there a list of pump out facilities for the Southern Broads please?

[Wacked and wacked again and again]

Its all very well saying take the number and the yard concerned but who in the real world sits there with a pen and pad at the ready to do that. We found when we got wacked you are so shocked and concerned for the boat that by the time you have come to your senses and thought about the culprits boat' s reg number the blighters have usually high tailed it.
