hedgehog, what is offensive about the word 'tosspot'? It simply means 'A drunkard; a toper; a tippler; one habitually given to strong drink.' Plenty of those on the Broads in the summer and in Norwich most weekends.
You may put your own connotation on the word, but Hylander is of an age where it would have been in common use, with its true meaning.
I rebranded the BA as the Broads No-Authority after their disasterous attempt to prevent us using the Broads at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. As far as I'm concerned, their subsequent behaviour, including planning fiascos, hasn't redeemed them yet.
'Broads No-Authority' as a descriptor certainly has more credence than 'Broads National Park'.
Been hit by another boat? Report the incident to the Marine Accident Investigation Branch’s dedicated accident reporting line on 023 8023 2527 which is monitored 24 hours a day. Help to make the Broads safer.

Palatine, as I said earlier my post was not a pop at you but more a case of highlighting double standards. Irrespective of ones age we now need to be more careful in the use of certain words that were once acceptable. I’m certainly no snowflake but it seems some folk are pulled up on their use of words, others aren’t. I would like to think that you would be suitably unimpressed if someone were to call you a toss pot

Re the age of certain users of the term 'toss pot', ummm, since Shakespeare used the term in Twelve Night I respectively suggest that a certain contributor is skating on very thin ice!

@palladine,,, seriously??
you inference that it is me who is speculating is utter nonsense.
but to be clear,
you know damn well I was referring to the other forums and the comments and bad mouthing of fishermen with not a shred of evidence to suggest they were in any way responsible.
there have been in addition despite the lack of any evidence suggestions and ideas of damaging anglers tackle and claims of doing so in previous occasions by some.
most of these treads have been closed or removed as they serve no purpose but to antagonise both fishermen and boat owners.
ross turner was actually present at the staithe when the said boat arrived, he states there was no altercation between anyone present.
you appear to be just " poking the hornets nest"
what is it you hope to achieve?
my appearance is down to me, my attitude is down to you.

I'm no fisherman but I suspect that carrying a tin of paint [ blue or otherwise ] would not enhance my fish catching armoury. It appears to me that the perpetrator of the nasty deed is not an angler. Only one boat out of several moored boats vandalised suggests a targeted attack, possibly another boat owner, who knows.
Happy New Year, Brian.
nazdar,

Slightly off track,I was looking at the planning portal online the other night to see what the planning situation is in regard to roof windows it stated that National Parks and the Broads had there own guide lines so they definetly make a distinction.

"I'm no fisherman but I suspect that carrying a tin of paint [ blue or otherwise ] would not enhance my fish catching armoury"
I've seen this and other posts of similar ilk and would like to point out that the paint incident happened several hours after the fisherman left for the evening and who ever did it could easily have returned home, picked up the paint and returned with it.
As a fisherman and a boat owner I am sick of this constant back biting between the 2 groups, the B.A. should ban all fishing from 24 hour moorings at all times, this would also stop selfish boat owners leaving approx 8ft gaps between boats when mooring to allow them to fish from the bank. That would stop all argument once and for all, assuming of course that the Non Authority has the b@^*s to enforce the restrictions!
if it is to be it is up to me.

TT, banning bank fishing from all Broads No-Authority moorings would be controversial, but would have my support. But regardless of whether or not the BNA has the gumption (see, that got past the word blocker) to make such a decision, it would need an expensive change to the bye laws, and might well make entering into leasing agreements with the actual mooring owners more difficult.
As we have seen from the Hoveton Great Broad situation, the angling lobby is very powerful, despite not contributing very much to the BNA coffers (when compared to the river tolls). We also know that users of the navigation come very low on the list of BNA priorities.
If push came to shove, there is no doubt in my mind that the BNA would claim that allowing non-boaters free use of the moorings comes within their statutory duty of "...promoting opportunities for the understanding and enjoyment of the special qualities of the Broads by the public," notwithstanding they have an equal duty of "...protecting the interests of navigation."
However, if that was/is the case, there would be a strong argument for the provision and maintenance of the moorings to be part-funded from the Secretary of State grant, rather than wholly from tolls income.

Mr Tibbs, your comment has merit but I rather suspect that such a ban would create considerable dissent and further division along the rhond so not a move that I would support.
In the meantime perhaps Plod should be searching out suitably blue front doors or blue boats.
