Enjoyed very much Robin. The tin opener had me in stitches again. I always used to take a can opener with us until I started using Maffetts. Did not take one this year as I knew heirs would be good. Excellent frying pand and a workable bread knife too.
Keep on making the blogs. Sharing the broads is a good thing to do.
SML do a dark Violet

If you press the colour tab then pick the RAL range they also show a purple.
Not sure if this is any good?
I find that when I have a very early start and avoid Norwich the roads are fine just the way they are, but then I am only traveling just under one hundred and seventy miles. Traveling from a south westerly direction I see no point in working on the roads from any other direction.
I have to agree with Griff though. If we had dual carriage way from all directions just think how busy it would get.
In August with the strong winds it was 2:1 between hire and private although one hirer did say sorry, rather than scarper. Mind you the hull of the boat we were on has lots of marks and gouges. One more could not be noticed. Lovely time though. I am all for a lower multiplier for hire boats to keep the hire costs down..........that is until I can get my own boat.
Sorry Alan, just like browsing.
This is only 10mm deep, metal and just over £10 per metre. Not quite £4pm.

Alan. Not sure if this is small enough, but cheaper and metal. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Streamline-Aluminium-Flexible-Curtain-Straight/dp/B0042SQ80C/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1416423757&sr=8-11&keywords=curtains+tracks
Well a little cheaper
I'm OCD too. I retie my own knots sometimes. Clove hitch then back to boat. I always tend to put the mud weight down as well if we are leaving the boat. Comes from watching some one float away late at night. Took a lot of people shouting loudly to wake them up. Kids!
