another vote for Althorne Marine but the work they have done for me is engineering and electrical. but they are excellent and fair in their pricing.

I think I've seen this posted before but I thought I'd try. The handle on my toilet seacock is broken ( I think as it was installed in 1978 that's not bad.) I can use a spanner but does anyone know of who sells old spares?

Have to disagree about the Green Man too. Again maybe we have just been lucky but we've always had great food and a good time. On the subject of dogs, no excuse for the guide dog incident but once at the Green Man we sat next to the door and an incoming dog jumped up at me as we were eating...

Maybe we've just been lucky but the Bradwell Marina Bar has always been great as far as we are concerned. Rush hour at weekend lunchtimes does seem to mean a long wait to get served though. The Green Man is always excellent and the Kings Head is good but doesn't do much in the way of bar...

I eventually had to bite the bullet and buy them new from http://www.haroldhayles.co.uk/ sorry can't help - they are a bit pricey but readily available
