  1. This scam happened to me too. I was trying to sell my Nissan Largo and was offered more money for it than I was advertising it for. They didnt want to see it and said they would pay more then I had to pay the man who collected it cash for the overpayment. I didn't see the problem in this as its a collectable vehicle and had people looking at it from all over the country. I soon cottoned on it was a money laundering scam soon as I started to get loads of such emails all of which seemed to be from people who could barely string an english sentence together!

  2. Thanks Martin Yes I know all about leaving enough rope. The last time I sailed on the broads in early Oct 1997 we couldnt get under the bridge at Yarmouth when we came back across Breydon from Norwich so moored up and went to do a bit of shopping and a pub to wait for the tide to go out again (we werent the only ones BTW!!). ON our return we found our boat hanging from its moorings with no water in sight!! Going to be ultra careful this time as I'm in charge of navigation and tides etc and not leaving it to an ex royal navy sailor that should have known how to read tide charts lol. Thanks for the tip on getting away from Yarmouth early on Thursday Madlissa
  3. Sorry Dan I couldn't remember where I pinched the pic from I put it on my pc to show a work colleague. I agree great pic thankyou Madlissa
  4. Hiya Muddyduck We will be around the broads from the 30th March for a week on a boat called San Remo (I believe it is largely Green see pic!) We get our boat from Richardsons at Stalham on Friday 30th and are planning to spend the first night at the Ludham Bridge as there is a band on. On the Saturday we are going from Ludham Bridge and fancy hopping off for a short visit in Horning and spending the night in Wroxham although we can't get under the bridge so don't know where we are going to moor up yet but would like to visit the Shed as hubby wants to sample a few of its 50 real ales Sunday - Wroxham to Salhouse broad (as I believe it is very pretty with nice woods to walk dogs) with possible visit to the Woodfordes brewery at Woodbastwick (good 30 min walk for our dogs!") and quick photo stop at St Benets Abbey on our way to mooring up at Acle Bridge/Great Yarmouth (there is an American and Classic Car show on the prom at Great Yarmouth on Sunday 1st but may not have time to catch it! Monday Acle/Great Yarmouth to Reedham (slack water is 13.50pm) and a visit to the Humpty Dumpty Brewery at Reedham. Tuesday - Reedham to Norwich as early as we can with intention for a gander around Norwich and a meal at Bella Italia at the Riverside complex using our clubcard vouchers Wednesday - Norwich to Great Yarmouth slack water 14.56 and stop in Great Yarmouth again this time to visit the Greyhound racing as we have some Groupon vouchers to use there (£5.00 got us race card, free drink, and burger and chips meal hoping to win the cost of the hols back!!) Thursday - Great Yarmouth to Stalham/Neatishead so we are local to return the boat on Friday morning would like to have a go on/at least have a look at the boat Ra. I know they say you shouldn't make a plan so it's all pretty flexible!! If you see us you will have to shout MUDDYDUCK!! Madlissa & Paul
  5. Hiya Dave We have booked San Remo 30th march to good friday. It's my 40th birthday in August so this is my birthday treat - just to see my hubbys face as he is sailing along will be a treat - he will be like a pig in muck pmsl. Alas we can't afford to do the broads in August as we already have a family hols to my hubbys mums apartment in spain with the kids so having a hols on our own no kids at easter instead It's not my first time on the broads. In Oct 1997 myself and friends came over for a weekend and accidentally hung our boat from its moorings as we couldnt get under the bridge at Great yarmouth after coming through Breydon. We moored up and went off shopping and when we came back THE WATER HAD GONE!! I have learnt my lesson and this time instead of taking a royal navy sailor to do the navigating (can you believe he couldnt read tide times!!) I'm taking my HGV driver hubby to do the driving whilst I do the navigating Looking forward to a whole week of chilled evenings drinkin wine (real ale if poss for him!), good food and good company we hope to meet on the way Thankyou for the welcome all Melissa & Paul
  6. Helloo We have just booked out holiday on the broads for a week end of March/Easter on the boat it seems is affectionately known as 'bogey' lol. Look forward to finding out some useful tips from here Madlissa
