So will Grendel's model of BA have to give way to them ?

Loft at thea?

Oh bloody hell, ... Do I have to give way to that lot too?

It uses the loft ladder like anyone else... Why?

We could always go for "Bamps" or even "Lulbs" I suppose.. More seriously though, a question occurs to me. We all know of the "premium" put on anything sold for boats, but in this case would there be a possible difference between an LCD lamp for a caravan and one for a boat or other marine application, given the damp conditions?

Sorry Charlie but no, that is not what "religion is about" There are a few, very few, people who spout hatred in the name of religion. These people are wrong. It is quite certain that some of them firmly believe in what they say, and are prepared not only to kill for their beliefs but to die for them in the act. The tragedy is that others cannot get to these people and demonstrate the error of their ways. Sadly this rarely happens. My standpoint is that whilst religion is man made and man taught, faith comes from within oneself and is always beautiful. It is never evil. It is those people who are prepared to teach hatred and to encourage suicidal killings in the name of religion who are the evil ones. They are not always Muslims, it is just that at the moment Muslim extremists are those who have the highest profile. I'm afraid it is wrong to hold "Religion" as responsible for the actions of such a small minority, not only wrong but can be more than a little painful to those of us who do hold such beliefs. After an incident like this, feelings run high and things can be said, but what we can all agree with is the sorrow that is felt for those who have suffered. I am sure that when the pain starts to subside from PC Palmer's family, it will be replaced over time with an immense feeling of pride. I do hope so, it is so well deserved.

Yipeee, I got it right... na na ne na nar

Ha !!! I bet you meant to say "She was right"

That's an interesting point about these "electric posts", more necessary out of season, more used in season. Poor old BA... Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

Chris, I fully understand your sentiments but I can't tell how we could know when that "time to worry" happens. For as long as Peter et al keeps 'banging on' about it, he keeps the subject to the fore, and by doing that reducing the opportunities for anyone (no names no pack drill) to try to further any moves in that direction. Some say that the law is the law and it cannot be changed without considerable effort. Whilst those people are correct, there are those who will happily expend that effort. Can a law that was set in stone be changed? Well For all my working life I was told I would get a state pension when I reached 65.....,. Nuff said.

I am reliably informed by my older sister, Frances, that the most stupid thing my parents ever said was just a few years after she was born. "Well lets have another one then"

Yes, Norfolk Marine. Take one of your old lamps (notice I didn't say "bulbs") in to be sure of the right replacement, and don't forget to ask for "Warm White"

Well that's justmucked up one of my major fantasies Anyway Geofrey, Having your threads on a section devoted to cooking will certainly make it easier for me to find your stuff later on.

Matt, I suppose really that a newbie on a boat has an awful lot to learn what with controlling the craft mooring up and the general basics of boating. It cannot be denied that the northern waters are easier than the southern for the complete novice, and that's the crux of it. Surely it must be better for the tourist trade to encourage the boating equivalent of skiing 'nursery slopes' for these novices and tempt them to make a return booking to enjoy the delights of the southern waters. Water wherever it is needs to be treated with respect, but be honest, the southern rivers do need an even healthier level of that respect. The above is of course just my opinion, but I should explain to Christie that my opinion is always the right one.

One Minute !!!! That's an age and a half. It was 6 rings at our place!

Mmmjm, It was delicious.

That surprises me a bit, I thought the Bell Inn wall came down a few years ago

Does the pub still have it's famous red brick wall around the car park does anyone know?

Oh man !!! you can't have too much weed man...

Now that IS a bloody good idea. Might be tricky to police but well worth thinking on.

It helps greatly, thank you very much.

Many thanks all. I'm doing a full scan using the Windows Defender but it's taking an age (started 6 hours ago) but I'll download Malwarebytes too.

True but it doesn't help the situation, something that although is blindingly obviously still needs be pointed out !

Hi guys, I've been and gone and got myself in trouble again. I think I've picked up some spyware, What's the best freeby for getting rid?

In no way is this a matter of who should/should not have a say in what happens to the broads. The answer is simple, everyone who uses the broads should have a voice. It is however perhaps worth mentioning that although some of the users who require facilities, pay little or nothing directly towards those facilities, their requirement not only entitles them to that voice but also that their requirements are unlikely to be for them alone. Waste bins are of course a prime example. The other day on TV there was an article about people using canals as dumping grounds and the trouble and expense that was leading to. I do hope that the relevant authorities (not the BA this time) watched this and took note.
