KaptinKev Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I always thought the reason we have flappy's on the Broads, is because they are too tight to buy diesel! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there's the theological reason for the difference... When Noah got on the ark, which was obviously powered by an inboard BMC 1.5 as evidenced by the lack of sails in any illustrations of the vessel, he quickly noticed that he and his tribe were not alone and that other humans had survived by clinging to floating debris. Noah offered to bring the survivors on board the ark for they were so busy trying to hold their floating piles of junk together to pay attention to where they were going. But the survivors were too full of their own self importance at having survived the flood to talk to Noah. So Noah spoke to God, who offered to give the survivors a good smiting, but Noah suggested a compromise. "How about giving them some string to play with and I'll just keep out of their way?" 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 No engines, no sails, live-aboards moored above St Benets and waiting for the tide to drop thus the creation of the great tributary. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
