Farecla No3, lots of elbow grease followed by two coats of silicone free marine wax (Farecla again). Preferably all administered by a polishing/buffing machine. (Cheap on Ebay) After that lot you'll have a finish to be proud of, and you will certainly know what your right arm's for!

My guess is South Walsham Broad.

"a democratic soverignty" AKA a dictatorship , a benign one perhaps, but a dictatorship none the less. As for the high cost of fuel - there is undoubtedly a political element here. 70% , yes 70% of the cost of a litre of road fuel goes directly to the government in the form of duty and VAT ( at tax on a tax! ). It has risen to this disgusting level due to the effects of the fuel tax escalator put in place by the last Tory chancellor, and continued by 'Macbeth' Brown. As for the ***** Thatcher - I believe that the Death penalty is still on the statute books for treason. In her destruction of the Trade Union movement through the removal of jobs, she made sure that there was no opportunity for mining to resume EVER again by ordering that the mines be not mothballed, but abandoned, thereby ensuring that the vast reserves of coal beneath Britain remain there - probably for all time. So What? So what is that the technology now exists (and has done for some time) to make oil from coal. When oil reached $80 a barrel, the process became economically viable, but only if the coal was locally available. Transport costs on top tipped the balance. Thatcher did much that was good and needed, but like all dictators lost her head to the power with which she was vested. Not only were mining jobs destroyed, but much of our manufacturing was exported to the Far East. We were told at the time, that we would find plenty of work in the Service and Finance Sectors. Now we find those opportunities going to off shore call centers as well

OOOOO! get her! :-D :-D :-D :-D

Once again, I find myself agreeing with you Rod , but I'm not sure who, out of the lot who aspire to represent us ( or get their nose in the trough) who it is who has achieved something !

Now if he had one of those sharp varnished pointy things on the front, it wouldn't matter where the wind was coming from :-D :-D . Was that taken on Meadow Dyke Greg?

Yes Perry, good, innit? I particularly enjoyed the references to 'twazzocks' and 'pond life' Seems that the Broads aren't the only place infested with people who don't understand speed limits!

One sinks in Lyme Bay, a bunch take to the backs of lorries 'cos it's too rough then they take a short cut! Pah - stinkies, what a bunch of lightweights!!! I'd like to see how they'd get on in the Southern Ocean

Dylan is now on the Medway. There is a cracking piece about the Medway Thames Barge match. Now lets see you stinkies mix with those saileys!!!! :-D :-D

Which Broad would that be, Jill? :-D :-D :-D :-D

This guy is sailing around Britain in a 19' Mirror Offshore - his films on Youtube are becoming addictive! I am sure that he will pitch up on the Broads before long. See here http://uk.youtube.com/user/KeepTurningLeft

Yes.

I recon the photographer was in the fields north of Martham, looking North over Martham Broad, The Thurne and towards Horsey Mere.

I couldn't afford the increased insurance premium, even if I wanted to hire her. Then there's the increase in Toll.... The BA get enough of my money,being both a tax payer and a toll payer!

"None of this political correctness over there you are either 'with us or agin us' it is all very refreshing." Heard a great comment about "them" last night ;- War is god's way of teaching geography to the Americans. Shame there are so many 'D' students!
