We moored Dad's White Boat in that dyke for many years, but had to give up in the end because it got so silted up. That's perhaps 15 years ago, so I can only imagine it's got shallower.

He is also the postman who has cycled down those roads 6 days a week for over 30 years. Just like our smoking conversations, i think this is just better forgotten. P.S. I never have hard feelings :-) Phil http://www.the-norfolk-broads.co.uk/viewmessages.cfm?Forum=22&Topic=19743&srow=48&erow=58 filyaboots@the-norfolk-broads.co.uk (filyaboots) Tue, 16 Mar 2010 12:06:15 GMT General Chat http://www.the-norfolk-broads.co.uk/replytotopic.cfm?Forum=22&Topic=19743 Just a point Sharon (or is it Tony....) Dogs are not allowed on Horning Green, as was pointed out to me in the most impolite way ever last time we were there. In fact, I am leading a one man crusade to list Horning as the least dog freindly village in the UK. Just getting that one of my chest, feel better now!

Why could it not have been a strategy for controlling and managing liveaboards ? That would have been more in keeping with the BA's remit for managing the area I agree Stowager. It appears these decisions are made anonymously behind closed doors. It has already been highlighted by Peter that the Nav Committee recommended Houseboat guidelines that were accepted and then ignored too.

The only reason I could think of for a surveyor to make this comment is if the opening is itself in an enclosed space and a flare up could set light to other material or impede escape. Might be a problem with some designs I guess. Your insurers might be reasonable since NandG closed their Norwich office a lot of expertise has been lost and it may be that some little clerk just filled in the forms without the benefit of an underwriters advices. You can buy standard 2Kg CO2 units for less than GB Pounds 40 most are threaded to attach the horns so that providing the nuts and pipe are man enough piping into the bay should not be a problem. A word of caution however with any piping, in use, it will get very cold so make sure it is not fitted where someone might get frost burns. P.S. If a fixed installation of any sort then its almost certainly additional to BSS requirements because this unit could not be used to address a fire elsewhere Bill...(The Ancient Mardler) This message was edited by billmaxted on Mar-16-10 @ 10:12 AM http://www.the-norfolk-broads.co.uk/viewmessages.cfm?Forum=38&Topic=19781&srow=5&erow=15 billmaxted@the-norfolk-broads.co.uk (billmaxted) Tue, 16 Mar 2010 10:03:23 GMT Broads Boat Owners Q & A http://www.the-norfolk-broads.co.uk/replytotopic.cfm?Forum=38&Topic=19781 Tim, have just checked the BA's press releases, not on there either.
