    I just want to say in the words of the TV presenters when someone has said the name of a brand on air. Other brands of angler are also available! I have met many of them.

    NBN comes out against swimming event - again.

    Not the view of the NBN, just views of individual posters who are happy to share. We are happy for others to share opposing views as some have. The key part is that the NBN is happy to see different points of view and have them debated in a mature and non confrontational way.

    Heading South

    We love the southern rivers. Places we usually stop are: Surlingham Ferry, great food and welcome from Sonia and her merry crew, good moorings as well. Loddon, lovely for a wander and again good places to eat. Rosie Lee’s is a must. Mud weighting on Bargate Broad. Brundall Gardens mooring is good for a short walk into Brundall and good for perch fishing. Rockland broad and the   nice pub with good food. And don’t forget all the other places that ‘Neil (Speedtriple) has suggested

    "a wooden leg or a parrot"

    Anyway, when you own a wooden boat all the good wood is spoken for long before limbs appear on the list :default_biggrin:

    Must be able to recycle an old bit with an artistic wood worm look!

    I am a member on here and also on the NBF , I enjoy both forums and see no validity or merit in one or any of the other forums besmirching or insulting fellow Broads enthusiasts  .

    Excellent Simon

    Car Talk

    in The Broadscot Lounge

    Posted

    I learnt to drive in a Mk 2 Ford Escort in 1978. Think I am a youngster. First car (van) was an ex GPO Moggy Minor with a 1098 engine. I put an MG head on it, went very well. Travelling in my Rover 2000 TC up a side road to join the usually busy A2 at my usual teenage speed and applied the brakes. Foot hit the floor boards, nothing to do but fly out into the A2 and swerve left. Luckily nothing was coming so I slowed down using engine and hand brake. Stopped and calmed down and then proceeded to limp home using the hand brake. As I pulled up behind my mums car I pulled on the hand brake and it came off in my hand (very rusty). There I was holding the hand brake with two wires attached to the car still as in came to a stop in the boot off my mums car. 

    I went an told my mum what had happened (omitted the bit about her car) she was so concerned and pleased that I was safe, she offered to get my car fixed. It was then that I informed her about the damage to hers.
