Post of the day

Post of the day is from Barton Turf parish staithe. The post is there for tying up broads cruisers, but on this grey morning there were few takers.



It's difficult to establish a clear view on the state of the broads tourist industry: larger yards claim an upturn in bookings as a result of the "staycation" trend following the economic downturn, but others say that this could equally be the result of the closure of smaller yards forcing a concentration of existing business into the hands of the bigger operators. Certainly the general trend in the UK tourist industry has been downward as customers abandon a second break and concentrate their resources on a single foreign holiday.
