  2. What helped the NHS cope and the essential workers to keep us stocked and running was the vast majority of the population doing as they were asked. It really was a joint effort that nearly everyone contributed to and made sacrifices for.
  3. One of the many strange things I noticed during lockdown was that people would cross the road to avoid walking past me. Funny thing is, they still do
  4. All requests for editing will be considered. 😁
  5. Four years since the world suddenly changed and went very quiet. It seems unreal now.
  6. Glad you got moved without incident, I can moor sideways now if I want 😁. Enjoy your new base.
  7. Matron has an 80 year old Beaver lamb fur coat inherited from my mother, it sits in the wardrobe unworn because of zealots who weren't even born when it was made. I understand the objections to this type of farming now as we have moved on as a society and very few new real fur coats are made. What a complete waste of vintage coats though. I see it as no different to driving a classic car, it was made, it survives, get over it. I expect my old 1962 Mercedes would inflame a few of the 'Juice stop oil' brigade if I still had it.
  8. The last one I saw was at Brundall about 5 years ago. Traps were set soon after and there has been no further sightings.

  10. I have started a new thread for Loos,
  11. Let's talk about loos. The Sheerline 740 has a manual flush fed with river water. It won't be used much so I am wondering if smell might become an issue with stagnant river water. How easy will it be to feed it from the fresh water tank, using a non return valve. The inlet pipe is around an inch. Will the pumped supply make up for the smaller diameter of the fresh water.
  12. Whitey has a thunderbox direct into the tank below. With a manual type I would guess it needs a good flush to clear it to the tank.
  13. I always add an extra litre of blue, direct down the pan. I was told to do this as the pipe from the tank to the pumpout outlet was quite long. We also put the yard blue straight down from the pan for the same reason.
  14. Good point It is moulded fibreglass.
  15. I fitted an external sensor to my waste tank some years ago. It is a pair of wired metallic strips that lead to a digital lights guage. It tends to be a guide rather than an exact reading. It shows E, 1/4 1/2 3/4 and full. We know we have a couple of days grace when the red light comes on. All you need is access to one side from top to bottom. We opted for this type rather than an intank sensor. I have no idea what make it is but can check over Easter if it helps.
  16. 3 to 5pm, Great time to hold the meeting 😂 That should exclude anyone who works or has children but will appeal to certain academics and the retired.
  17. It's a Sheerline 😂 So that is what you have been hiding all these years, looks a nice boat. 👍
  18. As this incident is now subject to a Police investigation the thread will be locked.
  19. Requests from me, the Vice Chairman and the Head mod seem to have been ignored by some. Let me be clear, We are not a court, we are not a jury, we have no influence on the outcome and we don't have all the facts. Speculation about prior to the video and after the video is pointless. Any reports should have been made to the police and the Parish Council rather than making a YouTube video that is no doubt monetise. Now let's leave it.
  20. Good afternoon all, Please see attached NTM 01 of 2024 regarding the dates for Powerboat Racing at Oulton Broad. Also available online here: https://www.broads-authority.gov.uk/boating/navigating-the-broads/notices-to-mariners Can I also take this opportunity to share a recent notice regarding the safety recall of a number of life jackets and buoyancy aids purchased from Amazon, eBay and Fruugo. Any sharing or awareness-raising would be appreciated. https://www.broads-authority.gov.uk/boating/navigating-the-broads/boating-news/notice-regarding-life-jacket-safety-recalls Kind regards Tom Tom Waterfall Senior Communications Officer Direct dial 01603 756034 Broads Authority Yare House, 62-64 Thorpe Road, Norwich NR1 1RY
  21. Please remember our ToS when adding to this thread, particularly the ' name and shame' section.
  22. 120 miles if you have a small enough boat to get through the low bridges.
  23. WhatsApp wasn't affected. All other platforms were.
