Well, maybe not so long gone, The Pleasure Boat at Hickling, Geldeston Locks and Surlingham Ferry, when the band is a pleasure to listen to, can all still deliver. 

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!

  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.

Does the rumour of the BA taking over responsibility for the moorings have any basis in truth?

we are looking at doing something with them for the windmill side of the dyke but it is not a quick process to get sorted. in the meantime we have authorised around 10k worth of repair works to be carried out to make them safe so they can be reopened for the summer
