When they are travelling WITH the tide and creating a considerable wash thwere is NO room for argument - they are going far too fast. Still, got to make it to the next pub while there may still be a mooring I suppose. Maybe the answer is more pubs with moorings outside

That should be 400 notices over the last THREE years. Still a hell of a lot, consdering how thin on the ground the rangers are now.

About moored boats being 'washed' by speeders etc. We were out on the Bure between Upton and St Bennets on Sunday and plenty were obviously speeding - If you have ' a bone in your teeth , and the makings of a rooster tail with the tide and current WITH you, definitely you are speeding ! Both private and hire boats were observed in this mode ! Apparently 400 notices for speeding have been issued by BA rangers this year......

No garuntee they'll see it, if p****d and out to impress !

Disappointed ( but not really surprised ) by the reaction of many on this thread. perhaps it's best that they stay away . Bigots aren't welcome here - or anywhere in my view..

It was moored beyond Paddy's Lane moorings a couple of weeks ago. It didn't have the trailer then.

Never used any chemicals on it.

Why oh WHY .... do sail and boat cover makers use top quality materials - and then stuff them together with RUBBISH, i.e. thread that rots in sunlight ? Surely the additional cost of quality sewing thread is hardly prohibitive ? Talking to a local yard about it , it seems a common issue. Even affecting sails from a well regarded local maker !!

It's expected that here will be more than a few guests from elsewhere - making up the bulk of attenders and outnumbering the locals, since they will be up for the weekend on their boats or visiting for a boating holiday. There will be an number of others who will be attending since their team is playing away from Portman Road on Saturday

Castor oil https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/july-2000/55/castrol-r

I started to use one of these last winter. I've found it the best thing i've used so far. https://www.screwfix.com/p/harris-heavy-duty-tungsten-carbide-wood-scraper-2/45940

Blimey !!

Should be - it's a Mondeo under the skin. I've never had a problem with roadholding on the DS5s, bothe have been on Michelins.

Don't forget 'The Big Six' as well. Loved Ransome's work since I first discovered him as a child. The sailing stuff is so accurate.

Surely you'll be taking that escutcheon plate off first ?

I'm now on my 2nd DS5 but a six speed diesel manual. GREAT cars. I love the comfort and performance, as well as the economy - and pulling a 1300 kg caravan is no problem.

With mains you will be measuting the charger output which will be.... around 12.6ish volts. Try the same multimeter check with the mains disconnected or turned off.

The 12.6 volts - was that with the mains on ? Sounds very much to me that the batteries are shot !

Man U supporters in Guilford and the S. east should have got their season tickets by now

The entire Norwich squad combined probably didn't cost as much as just a couple of their players - the same goes for the other 'top' sides.

Who's going to be first to mention 'SOB' ?

I'm sure there will be those who are thinking that there is more than a little over reaction. I'm equally sure that it is not. https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/weather/norfolk-waveney-events-cancelled-severe-weather-warning-1-6208197?fbclid=IwAR0Xz6ueLvpxSzO0Kv1esw83T5TG3Zdg1iTyX6pLil8jXk3HHJKskhDPhVo "Mr Garner added said: "People have to be a bit careful with trees in leaf, the strong winds mean we could have branches down and if people are out their camping in nature, the strength of the winds could be quite disruptive." As others have said on this thread, be very careful about wild mooring under trees.

My thoughts entirely.
