  1. Forgetting I had stored the inflatable dinghy in the roof as we approached Somerleyton Bridge with the tide up our chuff.

    Full astern steering with bow thrusters is not something I want to repeat in a hurry.

    To top it off I was steering from the upper deck......

  2. Sorry bit no way would a system where hire boats only pay for when they are on hire work. It would be an administration nightmare and as revenues still need to be maintained it would only rack all the prices up, no?

    How about toll booths on the new cut?

  3. I know people say that hireboats are used the most but i can't see how that can be proved or even measured? I would have thought the most "used" boats would be the liveaboards with no home mooring? Or even syndicate boats?

    No real answer to how we measure usage though? You could to away with tolls on motorised boats and then add a surcharge to fuel sales but you could easily get around this.

  4. Stupid question time......

    Do the fish just naturally go into the yard as salt water comes up the river or does raising the barrier only protect the fish that just happen to be in there?

    Or are their tannoy announcements for the fish to make their way to the yard...........
