Hello Fred, just put it down to another senior moment, I know I get plenty of them these days. Regards Alan

Boulters have announce their winter opening hours which will be in force until the start of next season. http://www.boultermarine.co.uk/hot-off-the-press/ Regards Alan

Hi Helen, I guess you are now a dab hand with a soldering iron. Regards Alan

Well done Charlie & Mrs G, how many is it this year? Regards Alan

Hello Geoffrey, It is good to see you posting on the forum again. Regards Alan

I also had Meccano. But who remembers Bayco? Regards Alan

Hi Monica, The Broom's fuel station will no doubt start their winter opening hours soon. My guess is that Saturday should be OK with a finish time of 4.00 pm or earlier Sunday will be debatable if open or not. We advise all of our owners to pump out and fuel up on Monday after lunch or first thing Tuesday morning. Regards Alan

Not in my home David. We had one for my youngest son because of the hours he work, this he never used and in end he gave it away. Each to their own I guess but I regard microwaves with contempt preferring food cooked and having a natural taste. Regards Alan

To be honest the inclusion of a microwave does not in my mind mean a top end boat, when ever we have hired narrow boats we get the boat yards to remove them, our crew prefer the additional space they take up. If there is an oven and hob who needs the use of a microwave? There are far too many gimmicks these days on boats Regards Alan

Hello Mouldy, If you have s much fun as we have had since buying our share in our boat back in 2001 you will do well. Syndicates are not for everyone but if it works for you then it will be a job well done. By the the way we do allow pets and one of our owners used to bring his parrot with him. Regards Alan

Hello Alkemist, Welcome to the forum, a picture would be good and help should be forthcoming. Regards Alan

Same here, I then put the shorter fenders out of the racks to replace the longer ones used. We have got up in morning to see some of the higher place fenders sitting on top of the mooring especially when moored at Reedham Ferry. Regards Alan

Hello Alby123, Welcome to the forum. Regards Alan

Well done Sue, that has to be a great weight off of your mind. Regards Alan

Hello Jon, Thank you for the update on the shares you have for sale. Regards Alan

We might have a look at what Roy's have to offer when we are next on the boat at the beginning of December, which is about right for any Christmas shopping. Regards Alan

The BBC lost the plot many years ago, a bit like Doctor Who. These days we rarely watch the BBC, we may watch the odd program on catch up after sorting through all of the programs with sub titles. Regards Alan

One rule for London whilst the rest of the country has to wait, 62 plus now in Sheffield but with the same travel time restrictions. Regards Alan

Nowt but a nipper, I doubt if you even have your bus pass yet Regards Alan

Hello Nigel welcome to the NBN forum. Regards Alan

There were reports that these impossible to forge notes had very good forgeries in circulation in less than a fortnight of their introduction. Regards Alan

Hi Robin, Do not be put off, it took to my third test to pass some 46 years ago. My first test should have been cancelled because of the 4 inches of snow at the test center but wasn't, Test number two the instructors car had a new clutch put in the day before the test, sadly with even an extra hour before the test I could not get used to it, the biting point was almost to the top of the peddle. Test number 3 came like a dream and the examiner even cut down the rest time. My instructor always said that examiners always failed a percentage no matter how they drove. At least I was never one of cases where the examiner had to dive the car back. Better luck next time. Regards Alan

Chrome platting has become an expensive exercise these days and that is assuming you can locate a platting company. Regards Alan
