  1. Or remove a sign. Did I say remove?, I don't want anyone thinking I'm condoning vandalism .
  2. So why do you keep coming back to it marshy, you know you love it really.
  3. Personally, i think the authorities would see money better spent by cutting back overgrown foliage covering road sign, especially speed limit signs. Also mend all the potholes in the roads.
  4. Only "a pint", your cutting your prices young sir
  5. Or laugh when you`ve made a complete **** of yourself
  6. I forgot to add, their Diamond 43 (Endeavour) has one piece straight windows ij the fwd cabin moulding instead of the regular 2 oval portholes.
  7. The Diamond 43 they built is often moored at Maffett yard at Chedgrave. We passed her a few times moored there in June and September. Their yard always looks very busy, and I'd be very interested to have them maintaining Lightning should things change at Brooms, but the Chet is extremely narrow there, and Lightnings 43ft would stick a long way out into the river, making her prime bashing by idiots at the helm.
  8. Hi all, Unfortunately, I won't be able to set the quiz this Friday, as Karen and I will be very busy getting things here ready on Friday night ready for things going on on Saturday. We both work full time, so the only time we have is Thursday and Friday evenings. If someone could stand in for me, I will be happy to set one in a couple of weeks or so?.
  9. One of many Broads pubs I've never been in. We never stop at HORNING, for some reason I just don't like the place enough.
  10. I'd agree with it too. That makes twice this year John, and it's still only January 😂.
  11. I totally agree. I for one have learned a lot from Vaughan, especially his post about the history of the Broads, and those that live and work on and around them. I feel very sad that he feels he's (possibly) been driven out, especially by a a minor few. I hope his membership HAS'NT been cancelled, and that he will think about those who respect him and his knowledge, and he will come back in the near future. Thanks Vaughan, and please come back soon.
  12. Hi Helen, I heard from our chairman today that Brooms have agreed with with NYA for us to re-fuel and pump out. I would imagine they`ve done the same for Moonlight Shadow?.
  13. No, the people we are meeting live at Oulton Broad, so when we meet them, we'll be taking them home, hence the one way ticket
  14. Thanks all. I`m not sure where we`ll be on the Saturday night, it might be Brooms, or it might be Loddon, it depends what time we arrive at Lightning. If we`re late getting there it will be Brundall, but if we get away early, it will be Loddon. The train to Beccles and bus to Loddon sounds good though. I did think about a taxi, but that would be very expensive.
  15. I worked at Wolverton rail depot where i was fitting out trains. I only worked there for a month, hated the place. The Canal went around behind the place, and looked like a rubbish dump. Then a little way up the road to the Stoke Bruern museum, and it was really beautiful.
  16. Personally, for all those that say there`s nothing (at this time) to moan about, the very fact that the head office for "National Parks UK" is at Yare House should be evidence enough to which way things are going. I can see boating on the Broads becoming very expensive as we`ll probably be ending up subsidising the rest of the UKs National Parks, and if that happens, there will be an awful lot of unwanted boats, that will be totally unsuited to other waterways. The whole fiasco of "The Norfolk Broads National Park" has gone on for far too long, and the Norfolk public are going to have to fight to make sure this does`nt happen.
  17. Hi all, does anybody know (Jenny M especially) which buses run from Oulton Broad to Loddon, and which trains run from Oulton Broad to Brundall on Sundays please?. We`re taking my Brother and Sister in Law for a trip back to Oulton Broad from one of these bases, but not sure which one, so would like to know which ones and at what times so we can arrange on the day.
  18. I thought that when someone put a post on faceache, i thought the Heritage boats were designed on a traditional style launch, maybe i`m confusing them with something else?.
  19. Hopefully, i`l be there for the start this time.
  20. Think how much that would cost, something none of the mainstream authorities would want to pay towards, as they have more important things to pay for, such as all expenses payed trips on jets to climate change conferences etc, and huge salaries, bonuses, and expense accounts. Also, imagine how long it would take, with all the discussion groups, feasability studies, environmental impact conferences, and just general other wastes of tax payers money. Personally i think it`s a good idea, if it worked as hoped?.
  21. The White Horse it is then if that's OK?.
  22. Hi marshy, I would have thought easterlies would hold the levels back up river so not allowing the water to escape?.
  23. Sorry John, but I'm going to have to agree with you there........ AGAIN 😂.
