fishtone Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Had to smile , has anyone else seen the sign at the entrance to Wroxham Broad. It says WROXHAM WEEK NO RIFF RAFF.Is that what people who don't own a White boat or a Gin palace are known as. Welcome to the Norfolk Broads. Quote
SteveO Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 In which case, I am happy to be riff raff and Wroxham Broad won't be on my "must visit" list. Steve Quote

JennyMorgan Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Hoity-toity lot at the best of times but I suspect it was aimed at their own, or at least the rowdies who surface at Regatta times. Don't think that any of you should take it personally. 5 Quote
Gracie Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 What, no riff raff on Wroxham Broad, you mean I can't cruise in there with my bottles of cider, lambrini and lager, dance on the roof of the Boat to the Birdie song, honestly, these hoity-toity lot don't know what they're missing Grace 10 Quote

White slingbacks might draw a gasp of disapproval but wear a rugger shirt with the collar turned up and a big number on the back & you'll be well in! Having a carbon mast also helps!! 5 Quote

JennyMorgan Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Could we not put something similar on the A12, A17, A11 etc on approach to Broadland !!! At one time, near to Fakenham, was a very large notice asking whether Norfolk was the breadbasket of England or the dustbin of some unheard of place South of the Wash. Quote

RayandCarole Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 Thanks Iain We had a big downer on Monday Carole could barely walk but our (very young) GP is excellent complete review of meds and within 48 hours Carole was well on the road back to recovery again even went to the local today.

Sorry won't work... we have already established that most of the people aground on the mud flats, or the lower Bure, or heading out to sea cannot read. lol... 6 Quote
