  1. I'm sure BA River control on on 01603 756056 would be interested to learn of the 'verbal' , together with the boat's details.
  2. Then there's University 'Broad'. Another gravel pit.
  3. Makes you wonder how nature survived until mankind came along and 'controlled' the predatory species.
  4. But they haven't yet, have they ? https://www.theguardian.com/sport/live/2019/oct/13/japanese-grand-prix-formula-one-2019-live
  5. Without the skin it's hard to tell the difference.....
  6. I seem to recall that incident being on the Breydon Regatta.
  7. There also seems to be a general unwillingness to apply said rules too !
  8. Not sure that would come within RCC rules - although some people seem to be able to get anything through !
  9. With the rain we are having so far today there will be even tighter bridge clearances .
  10. https://www.thewestmorlandgazette.co.uk/news/17943660.lake-speeder-told-pay-1-400/ "A MAN has been told to pay more than £1,000 after speeding on a boat on Windermere."
  11. Indeed the earth does wobble on its axis , and its orbit isn't circular ,either ! Interesting and readable piece here https://www.bgs.ac.uk/discoveringGeology/climateChange/general/causes.html
  12. http://www.eacg.org.uk/docs/smp5/the smp main report.pdf A lage report, but essentially if you care to scroll down to page 48, you will discover that projections from 1990 indicate a rise in sea level (for the East of England) of approx. 100mm - or 4" by next year (2020). Historic data (same page, same link) show a similar change up unril that date. The 'Bure Bump' will have effects on surge tides but unlikely on 'normal' tidal events.
  13. Are they memberes of the Caravan and Motorhome Club ? A number of the recomendations are 'members only' sites.

    The RNLI, in saving lives in international waters, are displaying some of the values and standards that we want the international community to see us British as having. The same values and standards that are being destroyed currently before our very eyes. Let's show them we mean to uphold what is good, moral and right.

    Are you aware that the RNLI operates a number of stations (46 ! ) in The Irish Republic ? Should they do so - it's after all, 'outside of our borders' ? https://www.irishlifeboats.com/ Speed Triple, you may care to respond as well.

    If you are genuinely angry because the RNLI have been spending a small proportion of their large income in preventing children from drowning because these were not in the UK, there s a massive void where your soul would normally be !
  18. The current Premier league Champions, Manchester City.
  19. 'Suitable GPS equipment' isn't what's required - except for the visually impared perhaps. All that's needed is the goo old Mk 1 eyeball ! Keep an eye behind you. If you can see a significant wash YOU ARE GOING TOO FAST ! And there will be no situation ( on the Broads) when the throttle lever needs to be 'on the stop' !
