    I can remember coming in to stern moor at The Bell St Olaves not realising or allowing for the eddys  around the bridge , swung a huge 360 narrowly missing the bow on a moored boat ,by using full forward , by literally a couple of cm , and yes was witnessed by more than a couple of onlookers 

    Often is, silence when you walk into the bar as well.

  2. I had 3 BMW 5 series, kept each of them for just over 3 years from new, doing roughly 75k miles. So from 2010 to 2020 other than servicing and consumables nothing else went wrong. Oil change every 18k to 19k miles.

    You can't beat proper summer and proper winter but these days, after the originals supplied are worn I fit Michelin Cross Climate Plus. I find them really excellent and good in a bit of mud as well as snow, which seems to be on the endangered list most years.

    I fit the same on our car. Good option for the mileage we do.

  4. Please keep your political views and opinions on politicians off the forum posts. We have had to hide a recent post. It would be such a shame to find yourself on preauthorisation. 
     

    keep it friendly please.

    This isn't new. Indeed, the yards you mention closed decades ago. 

    The south doesn't have the eye-candy of the North. Its often been seen as the poor relation to the North. That's fine by me 'cos its also a lot quieter, even in busy times and that's won't improve now with the loss of Freedom already and Sandersons at the end of this season. 



     

    I love the Southern Broads and have spent more time there than the North. Due to Maffetts no longer hiring we now use a Northern boatyard as a base so might not get down as often.

  6. Please keep your posts constructive to the thread and please, pretty please don’t put that old broken record on again. Otherwise this will be another thread that might be locked!
     

    there is also some twitchy preauthorisation fingers around.

    hope we can get back to the boats soon, as I am booked for 21st May.

  7. My daughter was only given hers last week and she works on wards with COVID patients (50 to 60 %) She was also transferred to a 100% COVID ward when the had critical staff shortages. All this before the vaccination and still wearing the standard face mask. They even had the marines in as they were so short staffed.
