grendel Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 2 hours ago, Meantime said: Surprised at that. I thought the most accurate gauge was the one in the pilot's office. I was once told by a ranger that the height either side of a bridge can differ by as much as an inch depending on tidal flow as basically the bridge acts as a restriction either against an incoming tide, or against outgoing flood water. I'm surprised that a gauge a mile up river can be anything other than a guestimate. yes but if they know the heights each of their boats needs using their height gauge on their slipway, they have a constant measure that they can check before they leave their yard which may save them a trip to the bridge.

Vaughan Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I have never seen such a stupid, inaccurate, misinformed and totally misleading article as that which describes this "incident" on the EDP website. I would not wish to link it, as I would not wish to infuriate Maurice Mynah! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes for more exciting news I suppose. Broads Watch managed to get some exposure I see. Not enough room to say what they're all about though...

LizG Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 According to the EDP a picnic style boat got stuck under the bridge yesterday. Link to EDP - not the article https://www.edp24.co.uk/home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cockatoo Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Do these people never think of helping rather than filming? It really boils my water er, I mean grinds my gears when I see things like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the guy that was fishing who filmed it didn't have x-ray vision to spot the boat that was about to try and come through the bridge from the opposite side to that which he was on!!! Perhaps he could have suggested that it's about time that people take some responsibility for their own irresponsible actions! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YnysMon Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I can open the video on my iPad, but not my laptop for some reason. It was the same with the video of his puppy that Griff posted recently. Helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrundallNavy Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 It’s filmed on an iPhone so not sure if that’s why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
