WHAT DO THE LITTLE ONES MAKE

OF REMEMBRANCE DAY?
On the 11th November I was invited to North Repps Primary school
for their remembrance service
It was a bright if rather blustery morning, classes Acorn and Oak
Tree with their teachers gathered together with members of their
families and friends of the school, plus representatives of the local
British Legion
The trumpeter was required elsewhere but with the aid modern
technology we had a beautiful sounding trumpet
The children were very good and maintained the silence then
listened intently when the eulogy was spoken by Mr Eric Brickers
chair of the N Repps British Legion

Friendly and polite service. All aspects of tree & hedge work undertaken.
Firewood logs and wood chippings available!

Then all were invited into the school where Acorn class recited
The owl and the Pussycat by Edward Lear, most enjoyable and
as I remarked to a proud granddad sitting beside me, I was in my
twenties before I knew what a quince was and he shared he still did
not know what a runcible spoon was!
Oak Tree pupils then read poetry they had written after learning of
the horrors of war
The poetry was full of blood, mud and horror as were wars of that
time, although the conditions have changed a bit, the horror remains
as unfathomable.
The day was lovely and moving but i can not be clear as to the
answer to the title question.

From The Editor

Life rushes along and at this time of the year with
Christmas pending it seems to make life for many
not peaceful but doubly stressful, a friend went into
Cromer Sat 7th Nov and found that the Poppy boxes
had already been collected from many shops!
I think if we can just stop for a second and as the
saying goes smell the roses or stare at the stars it can help the mind
relax and put some of the hussel and bussel into perspective.
I had a late night phone call during the extended weekend of
fireworks from a distressed neighbour, who asked why would people
not think of others and confine the extremely noisy fireworks to one
night and have the decency to advise their immediate neighbours of
their plans that the neighbours could be prepared and prepare their
animals as much as is possible.
Thinking of others reactions to our actions seems to be a a dying art,
along with basic good manners!
I am amazed how often I receive emails expecting inclusion in the
magazine without the courtesy of a please and/or thank you.
The weather has become
colder, are you and your car
checked and ready?
There are some great events
and promotions locally, details
throughout the Crab Tales,
enjoy your read

Dear Editor,

I wonder how many people have

noticed, as I have, the growing number of
long-term unemployed staffing charity shops in
Cromer and Sheringham. The days when you
could go in, mooch around and then exchange
banter and gossip with a cheery eldery woman
volunteer seem to be over. Instead you come
up against some ill-shaven scruffbag who
just about grunts a mornin. I understand
that these shops are having trouble getting
volunteers and therefore rely on the Labour
Exchange providing them with these characters
who shun any king of work. Im not
surprised. Who in their right mind would
volunteer to be around these people?
In my humble judgement the charity
shops ought to have a re-think and do more
to encourage responsible, law-abiding people
to freely volunteer their services rather than
depend on this ragbag of surly freeloaders.
Yours
Philip Graham

Dear Editor,
It was with some amusement that i noticed
your carol concert poster in issue 74. Not
only not this years but 2012 ?? I scoured the
rest of the paper looking for the instructions
to build a tardis as i fancied attending but
was out of luck. Any chance of 2011 lottery
numbers nest issue ?.
Yours,
Bruce Bamthorpe
Reply From Editor.
Thank you for your letter Bruce. The
inclusion of a 2012 carol poster was not an
oversight. Infact it was a coded message
to the CRABTALES sleeper agents in
Scotland. They were placed there so that in
the event of a Scottish vote for independence
they were to rush to secure a five year supply
of Tunnocks wafer biscuits and head south
with all due haste.
It was pointed out that Tunnocks have a one
year shelf like so we decided to scrap the
idea. Many thanks for your vigilence.

NORFOLK RIVERS TRUST NEED

YOUR HELP.

The Norfolk Rivers Trust are looking for volunteers who can help them
plant trees along the Rivers Bure and Yare this winter. Trees are proving
to be essential in reducing the impacts of climate change on our national
waterways by stabilising water temperatures, buffering pollution and by
providing a steady food source.
By joining this initiative you will be helping Norfolks rivers adapt to the
threats faced by our changing climate, improving habitat for species such
as Brown Trout and the European Eel.
N.R.T are hoping to attract people of all ages with a spectrum of
tree planting experience. Whether you are looking to help preserve
your natural surroundings or you would like to gain practical work
experience, they would love you to get involved.
Preliminary dates are: December 16th, 17th and 18th and January 6th,
7th and 8th. Additionally, They would like to hear from you even if you
can not commit to any dates provided above and add you to our tree
planters list for the future.
You can contact directly at
liam@norfolkriverstrust.org

The
Norfolk Knitters support many charities at home
and abroad with anything from premature baby
items, mufflers and twiddle pads for dementia
patients, hats, scarves and gloves for seamen
to dog jackets and toy hedgehogs and a whole
lot more in between. There is something for
everyone from very simple to more complex.
The Craft club meet on the 1st and 3rd Mondays
of the month in Coronation Hall or at the library
from 2-4pm every Tuesday afternoon. The aim
of the Norfolk Knitters is to incorporate people
who, may be on their own or to shy to join big
groups but would be interested in meeting like
minded people once in a while or perhaps just
knitting at home but at least having a purpose to
knit or sew for. If you would like to come along
and meet us we tend to do more nattering than
knitting! and have a look at what we do you
will be most welcome.
