Maxwellian

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!

Be very careful when you empty it into a black bin bag.......very careful. He did not inspire me to buy one.

We have one more present to but then we are finished. Hate going near the shops in December.

Thanks Gramps. Really enjoyed the tale. That sounded like a close one. Been close before, but never that close.

Welcome from me too. Nice to discuss not so nice to argue (and by that I mean in an angry or unpleasant way)

I would suspect that the cost to the business of training zero or low hour temps is quite low and gives them great flexibility. Especially when compared to the higher wages and overtime multipliers of existing staff. I would also think that companies that have a lot of staff that do overtime are getting concerned re the recent legal case on over times impact on annual leave (whilst this will certainly go to appeal). I was always told to never rely on overtime to maintain a lifestyle, always live within your basic. I know that sounds patronising to those who struggle to do so, but I have always tried to live that way, not that I get paid overtime. As stated it is a business decision, it is not a right. The statement that interests me was "promised". Edited to correct speeeeling

Lovely picture Jill.

Welcome and good luck with the work.

I am the same, always looking out for boats I have hired on previous trips. We usually hire different boats, but next year we are hiring Swallow for the second time as we loved her so much.

According to this site Norwich is slightly further, this would help with the ?Beccles. Ridge problem. http://the-norfolk-broads.co.uk/downloads/Southern_Broads%20Cruising%20Time%20&%20Distance.xls Use mile tab

Enjoyed that thanks.

I would like to fit Coltishall, Bargate broad, Langley Dyke and Geldeston in, not necessarily in that order. Not sure about Acle.

Did not sound scripted to me, just your normal chat. I thought that it came across very well. It was obvious that you liked the boat. I would prefer to try that kind of fit on one of Richardsons cut down RC45’s. I like to get to the upper reaches.

Excellent review Robin.

Am I the only one wondering if Clive gets fed up with all of these prompts for updates? I admit though, I am looking forward to seeing the photos.

Welcome Kev

Lovely weather today. Really enjoyed it.

Sorry to hear about your bad news. When one door shuts another opens. I hope it is not long before you find the open door. Good luck looking for it. I am currently in the "at risk" phase, waiting to hear if the finger is pointing at me.

Probably have higher costs and still need to make a profit. Some may not have a high through put and may still be selling fuel they bought at a higher cost. That's all the excuses I could think of. Or They are just profiteering. Will we ever know.

Some of you are just GOGs. We had a procession of Kids of all ages as my wife had decorated the house with lit Pumpkins (tea light inside, not actually alight). She went to the door and chatted to them giving out sweets. I was a GOG and muttered on the sofa.

We love the Lavender House. Food and service are excellent.

When my son was a student (software) he would always run down Apple and my iPad. He would always talk up Andriod. Now that he is working he and his wife both have iPad and iPhones. I started off with Apple and could never get used to Android. Horses for courses I suppose.

"Who needs a reversing camera on a boat" Not needs, but I wants one. In best Gollum voice.

Good site. Good luck with the day boats. Enabled link.... http://www.ludhamtackle.co.uk/

We are seeing a different side to Neil. Must try this next time we are on a boat.
