Letter cont inued on Page 4

Let me, rst, humbly apologise for getting a shop’s name wrong in our last issue.On Page 13 of Issue 022, I referred to Derek Balding in his ‘Spar’ shopin Mundesley.

I meant MACE shop, NOT Spar inMundesley, as there is a Spar storein the village, run by someone else.

Please accept my humble apologies

Derek, I wish you all the best and hope you pull it off this year.Once again, we start to approachgood old Christmas, as we doevery year for some reason.

Be assured that we are a great wayto promote your business, leadingup to that time again.

We will also be covering all thosemad, Boxing Day and New Year Swims again despite being awayin the US of A as fromChristmas Day.

On October 15th I attended Donald Venvell’s funeral, which went off very well, with Reverend Roger

MacPhee giving a delightfulservice, for this gentlemanhe knew so well.

As so many of us did, who turned out that afternoon for the serviceheld at Knapton Church.

On a more jolly note, it was good to hear from Matt at Boyer’s Body Centre that they have already had an excellent response to their longsearch for someone to work in his business, after we printed a letter from him in our last issue.

Which I never did charge themanything for. As they (whoever THEY is) say it really does payto advertise with us.

Yes, in case you’ve forgotten, it isthat time of year, that all the clocks go back, at midnight on Sat 27th.

I wonder how many Norfolk folk arehappy with this, bearing in mind that the whole idea is a fairly recentchange in the way we all goabout our lives.

I must say that no change to thetimes, would suit me just ne.

From The Editor

Dear Philip,I have been to the Todmorden web site and had a look about as I had no idea that it had already been done. What a great idea. It seems to beworking well. The video of the “PollinationParade” is fantastic.If you haven’t already seen it go to http://www.incredible-edible-todmorden.co.uk/videos/incredible-pollination-parade-2012 -the-start then run the video. The parade seems to gofrom seed to pollination to produce and then animals and birds. Great!

Obviously Mundesley couldn’t do anything

like that as it’s already been done. Anyway,yes, vegetable gardens on the sea front?

I was only joking, but....... ?

Nigel Holmes

Hi PhilipI have just had a look in this issue of your wonderful magazine and there I am in allmy glory !!

Unfortunately when I read the editorialapparently I’ve moved shops ?I don’t own or run the “Spar” several of mycustomers have already been on the phoneto point this error out! I hope you willcorrect this in your next issue .

RegardsDerek Balding, Mace Stores, Mundesley

From The Ed:Please accept my apologies above PK

Response From Editor: I will be putting this to The Mundesley ParishCouncil. Watch this space. PK

Dear Editor,It is at this time of year that the Aylsham Lights Committee start to think about the ChristmasSeason and what needs to be organised for it.

This year we need a large Christmas Tree for theTown Square. If anyone has such a tree in their garden, at least 30ft tall and a very good all round shape which they are considering taking down inthe near future, do contact me. The tree must bein an easy position to fell and retrieve and wewould hope to do this around 15th. November.

The Lights will be erected on November 17th,

if weather permits, or the following Sunday 24thif not, so would all volunteers who help withthis task please put the dates in your diaries.

The Committee have 5 large Christmas Chandeliersfor sale which were initially erected down Red Lion Street but for various structural reasonsthey are no longer suitable. They have only been used for one year.

We are changing the cables & bulbs which have been used in the past to icicle lights, so we alsohave some cables with bulb sockets along their lengths for sale. Anyone interested in either theChandeliers or cables for personal use or for anorganisation should contact me to view them.

The Committee need nance in order to proceedwith purchasing new icicle lights for the parts

of the town which haven’t been changed.If any individual or organisation would like todonate a sum of money ie. Sponsor a set of lights,again would they please contact me.

A set of icicle lights we used around the TownSquare costs £62.50 for a 4.5metre length.



Dear Philip,I said:“I am going to cross over the stepping stones”

Madeline said: “Don’t be stupid at your age”

I laughed and stepped on the stones.

One was loose, I fell over on it.

I nished in the water.

She was right!!!

Graham Jones.

Everyone’s support helped to raise a total of £1018.08 for E. Anglian Air Ambulance &£436.40 for Overstrand First Responders Fund.

Dear Philip,Earlier this year you covered a Golf day for us, raising awareness for PSP which mymum suffers from.

My son Ben Hele (aged 14) went up Ben Nevison the 28th September with myself and hisStep Dad Chris Hele, raising over £600for the PSP Association with monies

still coming in.

He wanted to do something in honour of

his Nanna as he watches her struggle ona day to day basis as PSP has takenaway her independence.

He wanted to push himself and decided Ben Nevis would be a challenge.

Ben spoke to his Nanna from the top of themountain, he would like to thank all thosewho have sponsored and supported him.

I have attached a picture of Ben at the top.

Dear Philip,We have just read Crab Tales issue 22 online,it will not be the last, as we have bookmarked your site.

It was good to see our photograph and read our comments in what is an excellent publicationfor the people of your part of North Norfolk.

Keep up the good work and pass our regardsto your team at Crab Tales.

Good health & luck to you and your family,Paul & Norma Bryant

Shefeld.

Dear Mr KeddellAgain in response, this time to a Micky P.

Without wishing to get involved in some sort of slanging match I feel his letter needs some sortof reply.

I can fully understand someone having a differingopinion in regards to the Carnival procession.

What I do strongly object to is somebody thatdoesn’t know me attempting to ridicule my name.

Ridicule by email & then in print is akin to cyber- bullying and, as you should be aware, is notsomething the Crab Tales should be printing.

Once this certain Micky P had regained hiscomposure maybe he should have considered what is acceptable to write about someonehe doesn’t know.

Saying he doesn’t wish to be unkind or rudedoesn’t cut it I’m afraid, I doubt very muchhe would try to ridicule my name if he werestood in front of me, so doing it from thecomfort of his home makes him a coward.

Yours

Chris Posthumus

Lady Macbeth ( Far Right) misses her bus stopand gets carried away by public transport sothat Henry must manfully step into the breach.

If that is not enough, Peach announces that theyonly have eight and a half minutes left to nish

the nal act otherwise they are disqualied.This play is certainly a challenge not only for theMundesley Players, but also for the Director

Jean Clarke, however sinceI only watched a very earlyrehearsal of the show, I amsure that by the time it allcomes together on the 7th,8th and 9th of November,it will go swimmingly well and will be enjoyed by everyone.

The Witches ( Front Row L-R) are Val Newell, Chloe Morrisand Yasmine Macklin-Page.

Tickets are on sale nowat JUPE, Station Road,Mundesley.at £6 or bycalling 07503 297 602.

See you there, as they arealways a great team whoalways provide a veryenjoyable evening. PK

What A ShowWhat A TitleThis season kicks off with the Mundesely Players,

producing “The Farndale Avenue Townswomen‘sGuild Dramatc Society’s production of Macbeth”Get your head around that if you can.

This is a comedy introducing the ladies of theF.AH.E.T.G Dramatic Society together their their producer Miss Plummer and thestage manager Henry.

Their production - orginal in the extreme - of the classic tragedy Macbeth, should guarantee

them a place in the Drama Finals at WelwynGarden City after nine monthsof painstaking rehearsals.

However, under the watchful eye of theadjudicature Mr George Peach (Centre ) played by Ian Cashmore, events conspirethat everything will not be all right onthe night.

(scoring 3½ out of 5).

A Young Cashier.......suggested to an older woman that she should bring her own shopping bags in future because plastic bags weren’t good for the environment..

The woman apologising explained, “We didn’thave this green thing back in my earlier days.”

The cashier replied, “That’s our problem today.Your generation did not care enough to saveour environment for future generations.”

She was right - our generation didn’t have thegreen thing in its day. Back then, we returned

milk bottles, pop and beer bottles to the shop.The shop sent them back to the plant to be washed,sterilized & relled, so it could use the bottlesover and over. So they really were recycled.

We relled pens with ink instead of buying a newone, and we replaced the razor blades in a razor instead of throwing it away because the bladewas blunt. But we didn’t have the green thing back in our day.

We walked up stairs, because we didn’t have an escalator in every shop and ofce building.

We walked to the shop and didn’t climb into a300hp machine each time we had to go 2 streets.But she was right. We didn’t have the greenthing in our day.

Back then, we washed the baby’s nappies as we

didn’t have the throw-away kind. We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy gobbling machine burning up 2200watts - wind and solar power really did dry our clothes back in those days.

Our kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, instead of brand-new clothing.But that young lady is right. We didn’t have thegreen thing back in our day.

Back then, we had one TV, or radio, in the house- not a TV in every room and the TV had a smallscreen the size of a handkerchief, not a screenthe size of the county of Yorkshire.In the kitchen, we blended and stirred by hand because we didn’t have electric machines to doeverything for us. When we packaged a fragileitem to send by post, we used wadded up old

newspapers to cushion it, not polystyrene or plastic bubble wrap.

Back then, we didn’t re up an engine and burn petrol just to cut the lawn, we used a push mower that ran on human power and we exercised byworking so didn’t need to go to a health clubto run on treadmills that operate on electricity.But she’s right. We didn’t have the greenthing back then.

We drank water from a fountain or a tap whenwe were thirsty instead of demanding a plastic bottle own in from another country.We accepted that a lot of food was seasonal and did not expect to have unseason products ownthousands of air miles around the world.We actually cooked food that didn’t come out of a packet, tin or plastic wrapping and we could even wash our own vegetables and chop our own salad. But we didn’t have the greenthing back then.

Back then, people caught a train or a bus, and children rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their mothers into a24-hour taxi service.

We had one electrical socket in a room, not anentire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances.

And we didn’t need a computerised gadget toget a signal beamed from satellites 2000 milesout in space, to nd the nearest pizza place.

But isn’t it sad the current generation lamentshow wasteful we oldies were just because we

didn’t have the green thing back then?Please pass this on to another selsh old personwho needs a lesson in conservation from asmart-ass young person.

Remember: Don’t make old people mad.

We don’t like being old in the rst place.

To You That...............may seem funny.But, to me, that is no joke for when I’m ‘here’ I’m wondering if I really should be ‘there’

And, when I try to think it through,I haven’t got a prayer!

Oft times I walk into a room, say:‘what am I here for?’

I wrack my brain, but all in vain!

A zero, is my score.

At times I put something awaywhere it is safe, but, Gee!

The person it is safest from is, generally, me!

When shopping I may see someone, say ‘Hi’ and have a chat, then when the person walksaway, I ask myself, ‘who the hell was that?’

Yes, my forgetter’s getting better, while myrememberer is broke, and it’s driving me plumb crazy and that isn’t any joke.

Can You Relate?

Live, Love & Laugh A Lot.

Thanks to Ingrid Campbell for this.

What Is The First Impression YouGet Of This Place? Saracen’s Head more than just once or twice.

I challenge any one to prove me wrong.

This is the place to relax and enjoy yourselvesin, whether it is with a party of friends or justthe two of you for a delicious dinner.

Along with very comfortable rooms available,there is a thoughtful and a delightful restaurantset up to cater for all tastes, with the majority of their food coming from local sources such as

all their beef from Blickling and

their lamb from Green Farm &Banningham Farm.

Pork is sourced from Aldbrough or fromSouth Creek, and their vension comesfrom nearby Gunton Park.

You name it, it is as local as it can be.

Tim Elwes runs the place and has doneso for the last three years, all with hiswife Janie, who also works at theAlysham High School.

Saracen’s Head is a completely free houseand really does offer very good value for your money. There is a natural charmabout the whole place and in the team

that runs it so well.All I can say is try them outand tell me I am correct. PK

The answer must surely be: One of it beingthought out clearly without being too grand.

But very special at the same time.

A place to enjoy yourself with or without a crowd of friends, warm and friendly, as well as a verycomfortable establishment, which operates insuch a manner that most of it’s clients come to

With over 100 pieces, there are too many folk to thank individually but all of them were

instrumental in the auctions success.

We were also treated, during the evening, todelicious cheese, homemade by Greg Kaye at Groveland Roughton, Candi’s lovely chutneys of Aylsham and Norfolk Cordials of Matlaske. With wine donated from Coors brewery wehad a fantastic demonstration on how to

appreciate wine from Kate Sweet.

We are so thankful to everyone who donated their artwork, came along and of course those whobought beautiful pieces. Including gift aid weraised £4,150.

“The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen’s Guild Dramatic Society’s production of Macbeth”.

This is a comedy introducing the ladies of the F.A.H.E.T.G Dramatic Societytogether with their producer Miss Plummer and stage manager Henry.

Their production - original in the extreme - of the classic tragedy Macbeth,

should guarantee them a place in the Drama Finals at Welwyn Garden Cityafter nine months of painstaking rehearsals.

However, under the eye of the adjudicator Mr George Peach, events conspireto ensure that everything will not be all right on the night.

Lady Macbeth misses her bus stop and gets carried away by public transportso that Henry must manfully step into the breach!

And, if that isn’t enough, Peach announces that they only have 8 minutes leftin which to finish the final act otherwise they are disqualified.

A Small CompanyAmongst GiantsWritten by Helen Batten – Solicitorwith Hayes + Storr

The Federation of Small Businesses reports that

there are over 4.5 million small to medium sized businesses operating in the UK today.

A key concern for small businesses is bad debt& cash ow issues. With the UK tightening its belt, a small business must ensure that it hasefcient procedures in place to recover debts, particularly those debts of signicant value.

The unfortunate truth is that there is a worryingtrend of large or public listed companies usingtheir size and bargaining power to delay payment to small businesses.

A large company which contracts with manysmall suppliers often has the ability to take its business elsewhere which means it can movefrom supplier to supplier leaving unpaid invoices in its wake.

Knowing how to put debt recovery procedures in place is something with which our experienced team at Hayes + Storr’s Litigation Departmentcan assist. Our expertise range from chasingsmall uncontested sums to dealing with more complex large disputed debt claims.

If sums remain outstanding, the knock on effectto small businesses is a restriction on their growthand expansion. Clearly, in the current climate,we wish small businesses to grow and not beforced to postpone hiring new staff or investing in expansion due to beingleft waiting for payment.

Many businesses are compelled to borrow fundsat unfavourable interest rates to tide them over between payment of their invoices due toattempts by larger companies to stretch payment terms upwards of 30 days.

It was for this very reason that in 1997, thegovernment introduced The Late Paymentof Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998,later supplemented by The Late Paymentof Commercial Debts Regulations 2002.

The purpose of the Late Payment legislation isto encourage a culture of prompt payment byallowing small businesses to charge each other,as well as large and public sector business,a statutory rate of interest for late payment beyond agreed payment terms.

The rate of interest can be calculated by adding8% to the “reference rate” under the legislation,

which is the Bank of England base rate set for the 6 month period in which the debt falls due.

Even with the current Bank of England lingeringat a measly 0.5%, an interest rate of 8.5% charged on outstanding invoices can do much to persuade prompt payment.

However, Experian reports that the Late Payment legislation has little effect in situations where

larger businesses have such extensive bargaining power that businesses contracting with themfeel compelled to accept extended paymentterms as they believe themselves to be inno position to argue otherwise.

In these circumstances, large companies aresuccessfully avoiding the penalties of late payment by technically payment withinagreed payment terms, albeitextended ones.

So what is the solution?

Unfortunately, there are no easy answers;however, Hayes + Storr can provide youwith invaluable advice on the steps that businesses can take to investigate who

their customers prior to contractingwith them and when things go wrong,assist in ensure everything is donefor your business to recover thoselate payments.

The Bedroom TaxCampaigners fghting the Bedroom Tax -which impacts on up to 770 families in north Norfolk - have welcomed an announcementfrom Ed Miliband that Labour would end thegovernment policy if it is elected in 2015.

Initial gures from the National Housing Federationclaimed that north Norfolk families would loseeither £567 (for one spare bedroom) or £1,012(for two or more spare bedrooms) each year,and critics claimed the policy was another attack on society’s poorest.

The Labour Party has argued that the policy un-fairly penalises those with additional bedroomsin social housing because there is not enoughone-bedroom social housing available for tenantsto move into. It also has a big impact on thedisabled and on single parents.

Ed Miliband announced in Brighton last monththat it would be one of the rst laws he wouldrepeal. He also announced a 2-year freeze onenergy bills from 2015, and a commitment to

build 200,000 houses a year by 2020.

Denise Burke, Labour’s Prospective Parliamentary candidate for North Norfolk, said:“The bedroom tax is an unfair policy that ishitting hundreds of north Norfolk’s poorest families, & should never have been supported by our local Tory and Lib Dem MPs.

I am pleased that a Labour government hasmade clear it would scrap the bedroom tax,& would also look to tackle the cost of livingcrisis by implementing a two-year freezeon energy bills.

The commitment to build 200,000 housesa year by 2020 is also vital to tacklingthis country’s housing needs.”

Martial Arts, there’s something for everyone.Ron, in Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets,said: “When in doubt, go to the library” - athought we want to encourage.

Maria Pavledis, Community Librarian at Cromer Library, said: “The Library is a welcomingcommunity space for everyone. For childrenand families it’s a place to explore creativity& learn in fun and interesting ways, to helpwiden children’s experience and knowledgeof the world”

As well as the special one-off events, a Storytimeactivity is held the 2nd Saturday of every month- where pre-school children listen to stories and take part in associated creative activities.

“Storytime has been running for some time”,said Helen who runs the events, “obtainingthe grant means we can improve the rangeof activities we run so we can bring inmore families”.

The Cromer Library Users’ Group consists of a small number of volunteers who work in partnership with the Cromer library team promoting a culture of reading, knowledgeand learning in all communities.

Barry Meadows, who chairs the group said:

“We were really pleased to be awarded thisgrant so we can fund these events properly,and give something to families in Cromer while encouraging them into the library.

The grant money is only part of the organising

for these events - we would really like more people to come forward to both help at theevents and with the organising behind thescenes”.

The Library is a free service offering so muchmore than books. A space for community groupsto meet, free internet and wi-, talking booksand reading groups, family activities and much much more !
