Seeing as ye ask, it was Ian Dury's bass player, if ye don't mind.
That would be the genius that is Norman Watt-Roy. I do play bass but I'm not in his league. I'm the stand in vocalist when Derek "The Draw" Hussey is unavailable. Bit of a moot point this year as no gigs! That's me in the striped jacket and Norman is the one in his trademark grey suit. That's Chas Jankel to my left on the guitar and most original members are still going strong 43 years after "New Boots & Panties" RIP Ian and Charlie and Oy! Oy! to all you Blockheads out there!

77732Anyway, glad to see so much interest in a North-Norfolk coast meet in the spring of 2021 when we are allowed out. As its the middle of nowhere, I'm pleasantly surprised with the interest. We have FC, 3leftovercrest, GTVGeoff, Catman and me. I know lots of great pubs with good parking on the coast so leave it with me, and I'll be in touch.

No, that's not right. I read there was one more Christmas before lockdown!

(in seriousness I fear you are right: 'Just hold on a little longer until the vaccine is ready')

Lets be honest, the vaccine won't be given approval until the middle of next year at the earliest. Unless there is significant political pressure put on the regulators.

If that is the case, then the regulators aren't doing their job properly.

Nah, I think it'll be (approved) end of year. And I think the regulators will be doing their job.

Sounds good, only around 50 or so miles for me - count me in

Assuming I'm allowed in a non-Maserati? Hopefully it'll be something suitably un-green....

North Norfolk does have a couple of hills, if anyone wants to break into sweat. The views from the Sheringham Coastguards lookout on the Golf Course are pretty spectacular. In the last eight months, properties west of Sheringham have gone through the roof, the Chelsea on Sea syndrome. relocating . Let me know when you all want a meet, can recommend loads of places as a ''local'', well a 30 year local. Which counts for bog all here...

Been up here 7 years after a life based in north London and Herts. You would never believe how different life can be just 70 miles from my last place in the Home Counties.

Beautiful coastline and very rural and quiet which suits me fine, but locals are very strange and drawn from a very shallow gene pool IMO! Thats why I live half my life in France as the French seem more normal.... and that’s saying something....

That's Lincolnshire, mate. Do you want me to introduce you?

Ah, I was prepared for this, as I wasn’t sure if there were dykes in Norfolk, so I googled it and I discovered the following:

1. There is a lot of p0rn on the internet

2. There is a place to keep your boat (if you are a Bullseye winner) called Deep **** Moorings, however this isn’t in Norfolk, but it is listed on a website which also lists moorings in Norfolk.

and if this isn’t proof enough

3. Cockshoot **** is in Norfolk

4. The Norfolk Wildlife Trust do an event called **** dipping, where you can “learn about the wildlife that lives in dykes”

5. The Norfolk Naturists do something called the same, but isn’t the same at all.

Also, an intro is unnecessary as I am not a fan of dungarees.

edit: Dykes are fine, but **** sets off the swear machine.
