I remember when Simon Whitmore was finally persuaded to install a juke box in the bar at Surlingham Ferry. He had it loaded with a blank 45 record, so that those who wished (like my father) could put in a sixpence and pay for three minutes silence! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNog Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I'm certain it will! *SOLD*- Lion, Thurne. Proprietors of @WHNeatishead have bought the freehold. We're sure this will be another great success! #Norfolk #Broads https://t.co/G2DXvb3n1p 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

addicted Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I remember when we were moored on the Great Ouse, we used to enjoy cruising during the early evening and often used to find ourselves near a riverside pub at a convenient time for dinner. One such evening we headed for a pub planning to have dinner there, when on arrival we found it was Karaoke night. Not my idea of the best fun! I was persuaded by my more tolerant husband to give the benefit of the doubt. All went O.K. until a girl got up and positively murdered an other wise good song. I stalwartly stayed with it until the equipment broke down just before the song was due to finish, that was alright but the D.J. .mended it and worse went right back to the beginning. That was just too much to bear, I was out of there fast! followed by a heartily laughing husband. Carole 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExMemberBobdog Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Thanks. I can imagine that the investment in the pub takes priority, but the moorings are becoming hazardous, so good to hear that you're at least managing some remedial work. Good luck with it all - looking forward to a few beers and some food, sooner rather than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
