Those who pay the piper.......
The biggest advertisers ar the Bling boys.
You surely didn't believe that journals such as Angliaaflop depend on their revenue principally from their readers?
Haven't read it for some time now. Can get a pint and a half of Wherry for the cover price

He's a killjoy that Jamie Campbell.
One goes to a degree of trouble to persuade quite a large section of the Power Squadron, that there really is a speed limit on Breydon, and JC goes and blows the gaff.
Of course - he is quite right. Breydon, although legally still governed by the Port authority is not legally part of the constituted Port.

Confusin aint it?

Anyway, that means the Port speed limit is not imposed. Shame, because one of the few things stopping the blingers from treating it as a race track, was the uneasy suspicion that they might get done.

What is true is that (limits notwithstanding), if speed and wash doesn't keep a low profile on Breydon, rigorous speed limits won't be long coming.

How do I know that ?

It is because I am psychic.

Still: they only publicised it by putting pics of boats planing on Breydon in Anglia Afloat.

It could have been much worse.

It might have made the press.

Schedule 1 Para 2 would appear to give the limits referred to in the previous reference.
Unfortunately, my large scale map is in Norfolk and I am unable to check the grids given. However, logic dictates that as the Yare flows into Breydon, the line across the river must include Breydon Water within the Haven. Therefore Para 14 would appear to apply - must remember to reef well next time I cross Breydon in a blow, wouldn't want to risk a speeding ticket

correct TH, I queried this with GYPA a few days ago and posted on the other side. The national Grid references in their bylaws make no sense, but the limit of "The Haven" to which the speed limit applies ends at the point you describe.

I feel there may have been some "constructive signage" erected (or clever removal of the derestriction signage) to try and suggest a limit which it appears does not exist.

I for one was under the impression that a speed limit came into effect with the 1997 bylaw update, but not the case.

On the topic of crossing Boundaries Navia, I must now admit to purchasing Anglia Afloat in order to satisfy my curiosity as to Peter Waller's complaint.(speeding - not the clinical one).

This time the boundary crossed was one of belief.

Jamie Campbell's piccies produced no such outrage, but six pages of the most shameless plugs for the suppliers and caterers to the farewell party for the departing Editor. stood out like a bad joke - even in and amongst all the other shameless plugs.

Who paid for the party eh?

Judging by the less than faintly justifiable cover price of £3.95 for this grotty glossy, I suspect we did.

I'm firmly in the pint and a half of wherry brigade. I'm just waiting for them to put it up to a fiver then I can get two pints!

Mr Hugger that's just not cricket. Not at all fair. Not a balanced view.

Only one of the contributors sails a shameless plug.


And as for those more keen to spend their pocket money on Wherry, you Norfolk Nogs need to travel more.

Something of which Wherry has no capability, particularly from tap to tankard.


Of course, that's just my definitively factual opinion.

Learned it from a couple of Abbots.


Good health...
