If you walk past the yacht station and the builders merchants you can et o Morrisons, a good walk but nearer than walking to Tesco, ideal if you do not want to walk into the town centre.

Most Of The Oldies Have Had The Jab Now.
ranworthbreeze replied to Chelsea14Ian's topic in The Broadscot Lounge
Sadly people do not always follow the rules or advice given to them. -
The picnic boats for a larger party are great, seating for all with sliding roofs for those better days, all mod cons including a toilet, a sink and crockery etc. They are pricy but you could hire for a half day (4 hours) or the full day.

Would You Come On A Boating Holiday If The Pubs Are Closed?
ranworthbreeze replied to JennyMorgan's topic in Broads Chat
I agree with the Ferry House at Surlingham, I have not been to the Bridge inn for many years. I still enjoy a meal at the Waters Edge and often go to the Yare when allowed. -
The figurers shown each day are still far too many considering we are being told that the virus is slowing down and that measures may be eased shortly

I had mine yesterday morning (the Oxford version) no side effects at all other than having a fear of needles. -
In the twenty odd years we have been on the Broads I have never had the inclination to visit this location it is too remote, the tides are an issue and there were always more inviting places to stop at. The place is not viable for any purpose.

Hello grendel, Whilst I was working for Thomas Ward subcontract for their alternator power division in the early seventies; they supplied a system that provided power that started when ever a load of 60 watts was called for. The cost for providing a mains supply the 1/4 mile from the main road would have been close to 30,000 and that was the customer digging his own trenches.

ranworthbreeze replied to JennyMorgan's topic in Broads Chat
Yes when allowed it would be great to be back on the water be it the Broads or the canals, I only use the pubs for meals and because we visit the boat out of season you always have to have a backup plan for meals. -

As far as I am aware hardwood prices are still sold in square inches. -
My guess his director told him to hit everything in sight, he has over 30 to 40 years experience of boating and owned a narrowboat boat for many years when their children were small.

Uk 50 Years Of Decimal Currency
ranworthbreeze replied to FairTmiddlin's topic in The Broadscot Lounge
I still work out measurements to the nearest on the tape be it in inches or millimetres after a few years in engineering with thousands of a inch the new metric was a step backwards. The money was just a way to devalue the pound at the time. -

Having A Bad Day? (boats swept away on the Lot in France)
ranworthbreeze replied to oldgregg's topic in The Broadscot Lounge
One has to ask how the insurance underwriters will look upon how all these boats were moored for the winter, if it is deemed as neglect or bad practices by the boatyards management. The insurers might not honour the claims. -
Understandable the way things are at the moment, maybe the situation will be different in April or May.

Share For Sale In Moonlight Shadow Syndicate.
ranworthbreeze replied to Sparky's topic in Boats and accessories for Sale
Hello Sparky, I am sorry that your long term syndicate experience is sadly coming to an end. Time and health has effected most of the syndicates over the years. Sales in syndicate shares performed very well last year, even though allocations were effect at the start and end of the season with the lockdowns. Regards Alan -
Sorry it's not constant, they ditched the pizza over 18 months ago, I am no longer faced with the dilemma of having to leave some of the side portion of chips or some of the pizza.
