Hi Neil, I am not into curries but I am up for any of the other pubs in Loddon. Regards Alan

Hi Neil I am on Ranworth Breeze from 17th to 24th of March so I may see you on the rivers. Regards Alan

Talk about bending the truth.

Hello JM, They have already moved to the new Speakers Corner section. Regards Alan

My advice would be only use your phone as a phone for calls/text and never anything regarding banking/accounts or bills. Sometimes being a Luddite does have its benefits. Regards Alan

I agree jamming is an issue the paper at times jams on feed in or it concertinas, when it is at the back or multiplexing it can be as Peter says a piece of paper jamming or it can be the pinch rollers.

Good afternoon Network Rail have confirmed that Reedham Swing Bridge is now open. Kind regards.

Good morning We have just been informed by Network Rail that, due to a mechanical fault, Reedham Swing Bridge is currently unable to open to boat traffic. Kind regards. Karen Karen Tyrrell Administrative Officer Operations Broads Authority Yare House, 62-64 Thorpe Road, Norwich, NR1 1RY Tel: 01603 756035 : karen.tyrrell@broads-authority.gov.uk Broads Authority, Yare House, 62-64 Thorpe Road.

When I operated from 1980 I could offer a 50/50 split on Pool tables (most landlords preferred a low rental) 50/50 split on video games after the Vat was paid on the cash box total, the same with bar billiards. Under the gaming act operators could only offer a rental on Fruit Machines and Pin Tables offering a 50/50 split was against the law.

The site owner or the Brewery always made the profit on the machines and fruit machines had to be given priority over the other machines on site.

I tend to agree with you Peter, fruit machines and pin tables come under part 3 of the Gaming Act and as such could only be supplied on rental. it is estimated that many of the big amusement operators in the mid 80's were earning less than a £1.00 per week per machine as an operating profit. It certainly has not got much better over the years. Regards Alan

Debate is good, we do need varied views, but more importantly facts so our forums members can make an informed decision. Regards Alan

Please keep it friendly.

Hello John, I fully agree with you and yes there should be National Parks, if it was for campaigners as actions of trespass and the right to roam in early thirties we would not have any National Parks which were formed under the 1949 Nation Parks and the Countryside Act. The issues that I have with these Quango's is because they are un-elected; the public who the parks were set up for have no say in how they are managed or how Government money should be spent in that area for the people who live, work or visit the said area. I am of course a stone throw from the Peak District Nation Park and spent many years in the Lake District and of course the Norfolk & Suffolk Broads. Some are very well managed but there can be big issues with any planning in these areas for people living in these parks, we have seen poor decisions made in the Lake District and on the Broads even though it is not Fully a Nation Park. Regards Alan

The situation on Windermere with the speed ban that was imposed should be a stark warning of what a Quango can do. The boating community were against the ban also the vast majority of the shops that featured banners in the shop windows. There were rallies and protests that were ignored by the powers that be, they had already decided the fate of the lake almost 20 years before the ban was imposed, they were not worried about the lose in revenue to the area at all, it is estimated that the skiing community about 4% of visitors to the lake district contributed about 20% of the total income to the area. The area was well covered by patrols on the lake and the three area's that the speed was limited to 6 mph was adhered to in the main. In the later years before the ban jet-ski were an slight issue but were policed by the boat patrols. Regards Alan

For there sins both are in catering, but then I am at home in the kitchen. Regards Alan

Hello Neil, Yes I will confirm that is case. I think a number of the forum members have taken Tim message too literally or maybe he made a slight mistake on his interpretation of the message. Regards Alan

Hello Mouldy, From a personal point of view I can see no reason why you can not mention that you are going to be here or there and does anyone want to meet up for a informal none approved meeting of like minded people, you can PM members on the forum or contact or become friends on Messenger or use Whatshap. Regards Alan

Hello D46, Sorry I do not know your name. You are a relative new member on the forum but from a personal standpoint I find many of your replies somewhat confrontational. We on the forum all have different views on topics and debate is allowed and at times encouraged to allow the forum from not being static. That said the Team do monitor all the topics so that nobody is bullied, intimidated or made to feel small for the benefit of all. Regards Alan

A few of us with boats met up last season at Oulton Broad because John (hockham admiral) was staying at the Wherry Hotel for a week. It was not an organised meet it was a group of friends informally meeting for a few drinks and a meal and had nothing to do with forum. Many crews meet up over the weekends or during their holidays on the Broads or in the case of syndicates during their allocations when time is available. Regards Alan
