Take a Butchers at the new


name in Sheringham
After 18 years on Sheringhams Church street, butcher Icarus Hines
is hanging up his cleaver and handing over to long-standing Manager
Martin Rowe and his partner Debbie Cutting.
Martin and Debbie will begin trading as M & D Butchers from the
1st November after giving 35 years loyal service between them.
Martin has been the Manager at Sheringham shop from day one and
Debbie has worked with Icarus in the Cromer shop for the past 11
years.
Icarus Hines says:
Both Martin and Debbie have been fantastic members of my team.
Martin has always done a brilliant job as manager at Sheringham and
its been a great privilege to have worked alongside Debbie and she
will certainly be missed by all at the Cromer shop. I would also like
to thank the good people of Sheringham for the support they have
given me and strongly recommend supporting Martin and Debbie in
their new venture.

From The Editor


Warm it has been but oh so wet. I for one am
ready for cooler but dry.
I think most bonfire parties went off well
between the what has seemed like perpetual
rain showers, those who went to Walcott saw
a truly stupendous display as captured by Paul
Damens talented camera work, had I been holding the
camera all we would have had was the back of spectators
heads!
We all have talents some obvious as seen in the numerous
local galleries and seasonal spectaculars as at Thorpe
Market church this coming Sat and Sunday 14/15 Nov and
on the stage as on page 13 others yet to be discovered!
What ever you and your family compete in, create at a craft
class or generally enjoy send me a short note/email that we
as Crab Tale readers can enjoy the experience with you or
marvel at the result.

Dear Editor,
After reading the editors comments
regarding smiling, i was reminded
of this poem.
Author unknown.
SMILING IS INFECTIOUS YOU
CATCH IT LIKE THE FLU,
WHEN SOMEONE SMILED AT ME
TODAY,I STARTED SMILING TOO.
I PASSED AROUND A CORNER AND
SOMEONE SAW ME GRIN,
WHEN HE SMILED I REALISED ID
PASSED IT ON TO HIM.
I THOUGHT ABOUT THE SMILE
AND REALISED ITS WORTH,
A SINGLE SMILE LIKE MINE,
COULD TRAVEL AROUND THE
EARTH.
IF YOU FEEL A SMILE BEGIN.
DONT LEAVE IT UNDETECTED,
LETS START AN EPIDEMIC
AND GET THE WORLD INFECTED.

Dear Editor,
At the recent Coronation Hall Committee
meeting members expressed their appreciation
for the late Clive Braithwaite. Clive was
caretaker of the hall for seventeen years and
also the voluntary booking clerk. He was
regular called at the monthly bingo and in
this regard there will be a special rae at
the next session in aid of Help for Heroes,
his family's chosen charity, in his memory.
A commemorative plaque will also be
placed outside the hall where he loved to sit.
He will be greatly missed.
Pam

Fancy

giggle.................

When I was in the pub I


heard a couple of plonkas
saying
that
they
wouldnt
feel safe on an aircraft if they
knew the pilot was a woman.
What a pair of sexists. I mean , its
not as if shed have to reverse the
bloody thing!

Dear Editor,
Im afraid I have to take my friend Micky
Peters to task re his language in a letter
published in issue 073 of Crab Tales.
Micky admits he has an eloquent choice of
questionable bad language.
Words which might cause a smile when spoken
do not look good when written down.
Surprising as it may seem youngsters like to
look through Crab Tales and we should all be
setting them an example.
There is no need for bad language in what is
otherwise an excellent little magazine.
Regards.
Janet Munro.

I wonder how many folk have viewed


the new conceptual art installation by local
sculptor Anthony Gormless at Cromer
bus station depicting nine members of the
Cromertariat waiting for a number 44? It is
called When will that bl**dy bus get here?.
Joking apart, I do wish they would get a move
on putting up the new bus

A little Yorkshire humour......
Following the death of his wife, an old boy
from Yorkshire was discussing the notice for
the newspaper.........
The couple had been happily married for 50
years. When informed of the cost, the man
uttered, in true Yorkshire fashion, How
Much?
He reluctantly produced his wallet. I want
summat simple he explained,
My Gladys was a good-hearted and hardworking Yorkshire lass but she wunt ave
wanted owt swanky.
Perhaps a small poem, suggested the
woman at the desk.
Nay, he said, she wunt ave wanted
anything la-di-da. Just put; Gladys
Braithwaites died.
You need to say when, he was told by the
receptionist.
Do I? Well, put died 17th March 2015.
Thatll do.
It is usual for the bereaved to add some
meaningful phrase about the dearly departed.

Aldborough Variety Show was a great success,


it raised nearly 500 for the community centre.
The local talent was very well received,
especially the young ballet dancers and the
young piano player. The hall was packed out
and a great evening was had by all.
Thank you to all who produced and supported
this super evening.
Kind regards,
Pat Freeman

The man considered for a moment. Well, put


in, Sadly missed.
Thatll do, he said.

Dear Liz,

The words are included in the price, the


woman informed him.

Ive no idea if this is of any interest to you


(or anybody else for that matter) but at the
beginning of September I was contacted
by Fischer Verlag, a large Frankfurt based
publishing conglomerate, who were interested
in bringing out three of my thrillers as ebooks
in German. Since then my silver tongue and
evident need have upped the ante slightly.
Contracts have been signed for six ebooks
to be published over the next 18 months.
The same titles are also being reprinted as
paperbacks. Although this is obviously great
news for me, I appreciate it might not be quite
so exciting for your readers but I thought Id
let you know anyway.
All the best
Ritchie
P.S
The books involved are THE FALL GUY,
NOWHERE MAN, YOUR MONEY
AND YOUR WIFE, HOLIDAY WITH
A VENGEANCE, ONE GOOD DEATH
DESERVES ANOTHER and DEAD END.
Richie Perry.

You can have another four words, the


woman explained.
No, no! he cried, she wouldnt ave wanted
me to splash out.

Are they? You mean Ive paid for em


Yes, indeed.
Well, if Ive paid for em exclaimed the man,
Im avin em.
The obituary was duly printed:
Gladys Braithwaite. Died 17th March 2015.
Sadly missed. Also Tractor for sale.

Residential Landlord and Tenant Issues

Changes to terminating an Assured Shorthold


Tenancy by service of a Section 21 notice
Written by Amanda Nudds Solicitor with Hayes + Storr
The Deregulation Act 2015 was passed in March this year covering various issues relating to
residential landlords and tenants. From 1 October 2015, provisions will come into force protecting
tenants from eviction which can have serious consequences for landlords.
A Section 21 notice is required to be served on a tenant where a landlord wishes to bring the
tenancy to an end. A landlords ability to terminate a tenancy this way will be restricted where a
tenant has complained about the condition of the property or its common parts and where the landlord
either failed to respond within 14 days, has not provided an adequate response or has responded by
serving a Section 21notice.
If landlords fail to adequately respond the tenant will have the opportunity to complain to the
Local Housing Authority. Not only is this likely to result in enforcement notices being served
on the landlord by the local authority, but it will also prevent the landlord from serving
a Section 21 notice within 6 months of the date of service of the enforcement notice. Of
course, the provisions will not apply where the condition of the property or common parts is
as a result of the tenants breach.

Amanda Nudds Solicitor


with Hayes + Storr

Landlords should be aware that although the new provisions require the tenants complaint
to be in writing, they will still be taken into consideration where the tenant did not have the
landlords contact details but made reasonable effort to contact the landlord. It follows that
landlords should ensure that tenants have up to date information on how to contact them.
These provisions will apply to any assured shorthold tenancy granted on or after 1 October
2015.
There are other new provisions relating to the way tenancy deposits are managed and
changes to the content of Section 21 notices. If you wish to discuss these new provisions
in more detail or discuss your own landlord/tenant issues please contactAmanda on 01328
825959. For advice on any other legal matter please telephone our Sheringham office on
01263 825959or email law@hayes-storr.com.

DONT ASK FOR WHOM THE BELL


TOLLS IT TOLLS FOR THEE.............
AND A VERY INTERESTING CROMER
BELL RINGING FACT.....................
Once again Mundesley Coronation Hall was buzzing with members
of the Royal British Legion Womens Section (Mundesley & District)
branch for their monthly meeting. As well as making preparations for the
forthcoming Remembrance Day services in the local churches, a branch
trip to a garden centre (with afternoon tea, of course), and the more
formal matter of the upcoming RBLWS County Conference, there was
the happy celebration of two birthdays. In recognition of her 90th, long
serving member Betty Willsmore was presented with a poppy brooch by
Chair Jenny Lambert and Happy Birthday was sung to Maureen Spink.

CROMER STORE READY TO HELP

A Cromer Convenience Store has reopened after a major facelift.


Suffield Park Store has been transformed after a major refurbishment and
extension. Now under the BestOne badge the owner Daniel hopes that
Locals will enjoy the bright new look and the wide range of Bargains on
offer.
A New, Modern look is great if you can get to the shop but those who
cant are not left out. Orders can be placed on the phone for delivery
within two miles of the shop and if your order is 30 or more, delivery is
free. With winter approaching Daniel hopes this service will help many
of the Old, Infirm or just busy local residents.
So, hints of Arkwright and Granville but very much for the modern age.

Club President Stuart Richards said,
The club has been thriving since it started in 2002, with members

Before tea and biscuits were served, Mundesley resident Betty Taylor
gave a jovial presentation about her love of bell ringing. Whilst Betty
first became interested in bell ringing at the age of 12 (primarily
to pursue a young lad) it was not until her much later years that
campanology became a real passion; one she has passed on to her grand
daughter, Chloe Guthrie, who recently won the prestigious Dorothy
L. Sayers Bell Ringers award. Together they tour the many local
church towers ringing peals for celebrations, commemorations and
calls to worship. She imparted a little known fact that Cromer Parish
Church with St Martins is one of the few churches to still toll its bell
to mark the death of a resident 9 chimes for a man, 3 for a lady or
child followed by a pause and then one for every year lived. The talk
concluded with a practical hand bell demonstration where branch
members, under the direction of Mrs Taylor conducting with wooden
spoon, chimed hymns and tunes including Daisy, Daisy, Give me your
answer, do. It was hard to tell which was more comical, our members
playing or Bettys charming talk.

The branch welcomes new members to


join our practical, social and fundraising
activities. Please contact Branch Secretary ,

A Titter.......................
While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, our
minister heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar
wilt.
Apparently, his 5-year-old son and his playmates had found a
dead robin.
Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had secured
a small box and cotton batting, then dug a hole and made
ready for the disposal of the deceased.
The ministers son was chosen to say the appropriate prayers and
with sonorous dignity intoned his version of what
he thought his father always said: Glory be unto the Faaather,
and unto the Sonnn, and into the hole he goooes.

B.T Retires Fleet of Carrier Pigeons

Or....Access to high-speed broadband doubles


in Norfolk as first Better Broadband contract
completes ahead of schedule and under budget.
Norfolk County Councils partnership with BT has given 185,885
mainly rural homes and businesses access to fibre-enabled
broadband, ahead of schedule and under budget.
Originally due to finish this December, it was announced today
(Friday, 30 October) that the first Better Broadband for Norfolk
(BBfN) programme contract completed three months early,
reached more properties than anticipated and made significant
savings.
More than 80 per cent of households and businesses in the county
can now buy a superfast broadband service (24 Megabits per
second and above), nearly double the number who could receive
these speeds three years ago before the BBfN programme got
underway.
The money saved as part of the first contract will now be
reinvested in the next phase of the BBfN programme, which is
due to bring faster broadband speeds to even more remote parts
of the county. Planning work is already underway and the first
services are due to be available from
December 2015.

North Norfolks Got Talent


Thursday 22nd October saw
the final of North Norfolks Got
Talent at The Pavilion Theatre
in Cromer. Ten acts had made
it through to the final including
one dance group, a comedian
and a variety of singing acts.
The evening showed the wealth
of talent that North Norfolk has
to offer. The competition was
won by singing duet Gelo who
performed Bring Him Home
from Les Misrables and Let it
Go from Frozen. Second place
went to singer Jack Goodacre
accompanied by his dad Tim
Goodacre and Perry McCabe.
Third place was won by Olivia
Watson, accompanied by Rob
Bindley on acoustic guitar. The
evening was enjoyed by all and
proved to be hugely successful.
The competition was organised
by the Coast Arts Festival
with the Cromer Pier Pavilion
Theatre, Arts North Norfolk and
Art is Medicine.

For the many in North Norfolk who have had to plod along
with snail pace internet the wait may soon be over, if it isnt
already. Soon we should almost all have the choice of High Speed
Broadband. If you dont know your broadband speed there are
free tests online. Superfast is 24 Megabytes or more so if your
speed is well below that why not ask your provider why. It will be
interesting to see how well BT resolves the patches of very low
speed to give us all a level playing field so we can all rejoice at the
end of watching that little circle going round. I always thought
that was the best bit!
BT staff say a fond fairwell to the plucky heroes who
carried our internet messages.

Young people in Norfolk want to be paid the living wage and taught about personal finance and
relationships in their schools according to the results of a referendum in which almost 17,000 of
the countys 11 to 18 year olds took part.
Norfolks young people voiced their opinions through the Make Your Mark Ballot, an initiative
run nationally by UK Youth Parliament. Voters were polled in Norfolk high schools and asked to
select the single issue, of ten available, which was of paramount importance to them.
The top five concerns nationwide will be debated by the elected Members of Youth Parliament
from across the UK in the House of Commons on 13 November. Four members of Norfolks
Youth Parliament, which is supported by Norfolk County Council, will join the debate to make
sure the voice of Norfolks young people is heard. The meeting will be chaired by John Bercow
MP, the Speaker of the House, and its outcome will determine which issue will be the UK Youth
Parliaments campaign priority in the coming year.
When votes were counted, Norfolks top five priorities mirrored the national top five results. The
Living Wage topped the poll both locally and nationally, with 3,016 of the 16,711 Norfolk young
people that took part registering the belief that everyone aged 16 or over should be paid at least
the Living Wage of 7.85 per hour.
In second place, voters selected a curriculum to prepare us for life, which proposes that schools
cover real-world topics like finance, relationships, and politics. Mental health, transport, and
combating discrimination came in third, fourth, and fifth, respectively.
This years Make Your Mark ballot set a record for being the biggest youth voting exercise in UK
history, with 1 in 5 people aged 11 to 18 taking part.
James Joyce, Chairman of the County Councils Childrens Services Committee, said: Our young
people perform a vital role in our democratic process. They not only speak up for their peers and
their communities, but the county as a whole. The Make Your Mark ballot is a great opportunity
for them to let us know what pressing issues affect young people in Norfolk, and for us to really
listen to what they have to say.
This years tremendous voter turnout is quite an achievement for Norfolks young people.
Congratulations to our MYPs and the thousands of their peers who took the time and trouble to
vote.
Annie Baldwin, 18, MYP for Broadland said: Make Your Mark is brilliant and it allows young
people to have a voice. Its the biggest youth consultation in the UK and shows what young people
want all across Britain. We cant wait to start tackling these issues in Norfolk. Young people are
the future so its important that their opinions and ideas are not ignored.
