Yob rule..

Some pieces of shit did this to my motorhome the other night. I suppose their fathers would sort them out normally but doubt these arseholes even have one.

Bye bye to Lowestoft

I'm trying to get in touch with all customers,suppliers etc to advise our new address and contact details.
They are posted now on the web site ,we are moving to Gorleston about six miles down the road from Loweestoft.

Cricket on the village green.

I'm glad to be leaving Lowestoft.it became virtually impossible to trade there due to the head in the sand attitude of the local council.

Flooding on the east coast. Missed us this time.

We managed to escape the worst of the flooding at our shop in Lowestoft but it did knock out our phone line and we lost internet access for a couple of weeks.
A friend further down the coast had their bungalow badly damaged,

The old wooden sea defences also took a battering

The wooden breakwaters near Gorleston have been smashed and uprooted even though these are very substantial wooden beams held by huge metal bolts.

Emergency services were stretched to breaking point and routine repairs delayed for some time.We managed to carry on using another phone line and a mobile phone and didn't let any one down on deliveries of tools or orders.

Happily we wont have to worry about flooding in Lowestoft for much longer.

Car booty in a taxi.

I took a load of stuff to the local car boot,Julies Car boot at Burgh Castle.There didn't seem much to take at first so I just loaded it in the taxi but ended up pretty much filling the old girl.When it's all laid out it looks pretty nigh impossible to get it all back in it.

I didn't do too bad getting rid of some gear that there wouldn't really have been a place for at the new home.I don't like the Kessingland car boot,although its closer they tend to squeeze you up together and have all sorts of sily rules about where you can go and what times you're allowed to go on,I can do without a load of petty aggro first thing on a sunday morning.

Lowestot and the conservation area.

Waveney Road in Lowestoft is suppose to be one of its so called conservation areas.I wonder what on earth they are supposed to be trying to conserve and why.

For me, running a shop,Waveney District Council seem only too keen to put obstacles in the way in terms of placing adverts,satellite dishes,parking and loading bays and all the rest,yet turn a blind eye to breaches of the same stupid rules all up and down the road and bend over backwards to provide other businesses with their own loading or parking bays.
I keep wondering what I've done wrong.Is it because I criticise this bunch of stuffed shirts or is it that my criticism seems to ask why some people ar exempt from the rules that I'm forced to abide by?.
Is it that I'm supposed to tug my forelock or join some sort of club and get special treatment.
Wasn't it Groucho Marx who said "I wouldn't join any club that would have me as a member?" I think he was talking about WDC and Lowestoft
