Broads. Was like a slow, agonising death. I was the youngest one there by at least 50 years. It was like that film, Cocoon. Every pub was like a care home during the day and deserted by 7pm. We honestly werent a rowdy bunch, but were turned away by several of them for being a “group”. Basically, they wanted an early night.
Four of us went to a quaint looking cafe for a full English one morning- I got a bollocking from the woman running it because I asked where the toilet was. “We dont have toilets; we have facilities...”
Pissed it down most of the week as well which didnt help, as didnt the fact that there were 8 of us on a boat with 1 working bog and a hot water system so slow, it only heated up enogh for about 3 of us to have lukewarm showers per day.
We did find a very nice curry house though- on the last night. That was where we parked the boat up, I think it was called Stalham?
That sounds rather like the Broads. They're not keen on groups of blokes (or women for that matter) rocking up at pubs along the way. It's pathetic. Shame though because the Broads are beautiful and we should shout about them more!
Stalham is a little town near the Broads so you are right. Also a town famous for those two Tesco employees getting it on not so long ago!
