River Yare

[Philip Hawkes]

What's the correct pronunciation for Yare ?
Is it yair, as in 'yea man, far out' (hippie talk !), or yar, as in
Yarmouth ?
Also, does anyone know if water-skiing on the Broads is going to be
banned ?

Many Thanks

Philip,

I've lived in Norfolk (north coast and Norwich) most of my life, and only
heard it pronounced to rhyme with fair (but I stand to be corrected by any
real Yarmouth locals!)

Water skiing should be banned on some stretches but maybe put them
altogether in one area

Why not ban eveything and have done with it.
