All I can think of is Alan Partidge's promotional video for Hamilton's Water Breaks.

Expected to see a group of angry farmer's on a bridge

[@Rorshach1004]

Absolutely hilarious. Now we know where Steve got it all from.

[@goldenboyproductions2740]

I just knew if I clicked on this, the comments section would be filled with Alan Partridge references.

[@the414podcast]

Same.. came only for the Alan Partridge references

[@BeautifulNorfolk]

Wonderful to watch! Roys is still there in Wroxham and doing well!

[@Zamanifan8185]

How lovely to see this! I live on the Broads and visit Ranworth regularly. Wroxham is a very busy place in the summer and the rivers are like Piccadilly Circus!

Had our honeymoon in 75 on the Norfolk Broads rumour has it there were several tidal waves that year 🥰😜

[@brianmorrison9168]

@0:26 As a kid, I had two 'Broads' holidays with my parents in the 70s but even now can remember most of the place names and boat details. For our first holiday (1973) we hired a boat from Moores of Wroxham, while our friends who had been before opted for a boat from Matham Boats It was decided (why ? who knows) to meet for our first night at Horsey Mere, where the windmill is. Our friends had a short journey from Martham, which looks to be about 3 miles We had to travel from Wroxham, which is 17 miles .. a long way on a boat. We even arrived at the Potter Heigham after the bridge pilots had gone home for the day. Dad, who had actually been a keen sailor/boatsman for many years went through anyway. When we finally arrived at Horsey Mere our friends asked .. what kept you ? It was a great holiday and we returned again the following year, this time three families, all hiring Moores boats🛥🛥🛥

[@AndysEastCoastAdventures]

Been to wroxham many times. Theirs a fantastic model railway attraction their too which is worth a visit. Roys is still their too, not sure how they are doing with this covid outbreak though.

[@ocean686]

you could get your covid jab at Roys, and he also supplied ppe

[@Alfredromeothatsme]

Only 20 drownings in the last 5 years...yikes!

[@helmethead72]

Perhaps the Broads should have been closed to the public on safety grounds?

[@ignoblesurfer6281]

Twenty drownings in five years seems like a lot. I think the canon has some 'splainin' to do!

[@jokingpants]

People were' tougher back then! They took risks!

[@gwmitchell1980]

GaryGuevara The U Boat Wolfpack's have been banned from the Broads since 1980. And from 1986 Broad Cruiser's were no longer required to sail in convoys.

[@andyelliott8027]

@@ignoblesurfer6281 Not many from millions of tourists over 5 years. If you took a group of 1 million people and observed and recorded what happened to them ( in normal life) 700 of them would be dead after 24 hours.

[@ty1978]

This chemical toilet is a Saniflow 33. Now this little babe can cope with anything, and I mean anything. Earlier on I put in a pound of mashed-up Dundee cake. Let’s take a look. Not a trace. Peace of mind I’m sure, especially if you have elderly relatives on board.

Brilliant, I pissed myself when I read that! Thank you

[@johnphillips2876]

Was that the vicar from Dick Emery ?

Dundee cake ok but if you got a bratwurst stuck in one of these babies then it was an SOS to the boatyard

[@congydave]

For a British holiday with a difference on a boat, always choose Hamilton’s Water Breaks. With the melting of the polar ice caps, most of East Anglia will be underwater in the next thirty years. So make the most of the stunning fens before the floods come, causing a little concern for these local farmers I chatted to. This is my wife and I going off to the local marketplace, where we could buy anything from plimsolls to posters of famous Hollywood stars.

[@gavc6442]

Only 20 deaths lol 😂 If it we’re a roller coster with that record it would have been shut down years ago!

[@ignoblesurfer6281]

If it'd been a roller coaster the canon probably wouldn't show up in a boat, either

[@andyelliott8027]

That's from several million idiots over 5 years.

[@mistofoles]

"Hey, look ! There's a Canon on that boat !" "Frig me ! I didn't know that was included !"

[@Rorshach1004]

'Causes of accidents?' Er, how about casually sitting on the side of a boat, with one foot on the dock, and not concentrating on what you are doing?

[@cooler066]

Or overloading a rowing boat lol
