Ray Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Over refreshing can be a problem... I'm told 😁 Presumably those in serious need of refreshment will find it anyway and those decent folks who would simply like a glass of wine with their picnic will be the only ones to suffer - it was ever thus 🙁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly some of the worst behaviour I’ve seen on The Broads. Beer and wine being sprayed and thrown over the party members on the boats, people jumping from boat to boat whilst underway, music playing loudly and much shouting and generally anti social behaviour. Don’t get me wrong, there’s having a good and enjoyable time, but this was disgusting (imho). Cleaning the boats up after they’d vacated must have been a fairly lengthy process. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Wow, luckily I've not seen anything like that! Clearly that is just spoiling things for everyone around them! Completely anti social 🙁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrundallNavy Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Passed two Rangers and a police boat today hopefully they will carry on for the rest of the season not just a show for the first couple of weeks of hire. Also saw two boys with fishing gear even though it’s still closed season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broads01 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Fair play to Hippersons for taking a stand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 The season starts and here we are off again on the same old subject. It's almost as predictable as the first cuckoo of Spring. This is Hippersons' free choice. Personally I have found that if you hope to run a successful seasonal tourist business, especially with day boats, then you can't filter your customers. Antisocial behaviour by louts on holiday is a civil matter for the Police, whether or not the culprits are on a boat. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Hardly ever touch the stuff myself, though I am considering a liquid breakfast when next moored at Ranworth, just to hear the rangers explain that I'm too drunk to helm and that I must remove my boat from the mooring. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
