Well at the moment our car is cloned in Surrey keeps speeding in a 20mph area. The met police are slow in doing any thing, DVLA I had to send photo copies of log book mot and ins by royal mail and proof at to where i was for each ticket. Dartford crossing was easy done in less than 24 hours via a little sticker I had to stick on our car.
This is still on going for last 6 or 7 weeks now

Hopefully those that deny "Global warning"
Sadly not as I remember the long hot summers of the 50's and 60's. Also the scorcher of 1976, in April I forecast this as in 1976 0n 20th April there was nearly a foot of snow. June 1st the sun came out like this until October ... These extra hot summers and cold winters come around nothing to do with global warming my friend

Falling in quickly becomes scary when it comes to getting out! We are in the, ahem, middle aged bracket (plus some) and my wife fell in The Ant last month at a wild mooring.
We were still mooring up and as she went in pushed the boat back out. She is not a strong swimmer and I'm a non swimmer, neither of us were wearing a life jacket!!!
As you can guess even though this was next to an accessible bank things can/could quickly escalate and at first I did hesitate between leaving the helm to help her and keeping the boat away from her. I nosed into the bank as luckily the curve meant the boat would be stopped before the stern got near her. Stopped the engine, jumped off the front with a rope (still no life jacket on) tied just the bow to a tree and finally helped her out.
A very very thorough review of our safety and mooring procedures followed I can tell you.. lesson well and truly learned!
Snap I did the same last july the getting out was the really hard bit, until a big dog otter showed me its huge teeth.

I don't suppose anyone has done any research, at least as far as Broads boating is concerned, but I do wonder what percentage of drownings are the result of falling in or actually the result of not being able get out, or being able to be got out? Using a throw bag is all very well, if one is available, and then only if there is a suitable exit point on the bank. Let's be honest, could you then climb out of the water via the ladder at a convenient 24hr mooring, or would you need to be beached on a nearby slipway, of which there aren't many?
Interesting points there JW indeed, i have never heard of such research on this but I stand to be corrected on that.

Good luck to them both

It makes you think... Years ago, when we were young and someone went in, while 'messing about' it was just a laugh. When you're young and fit, it's fairly easy to haul a mate out of the river, with no harm done (hopefully).
But, what about now... It's fairly obvious, that the average age of this forum is, shall we say 'middle aged' (sorry). We probably take a lot more care, in making sure that we don't fall in, in the first place. But, what if it does happen; how do we deal with it, other than panic... Good flotation jackets, should keep us afloat, but how do we get someone back onboard, in a running current or tide?... I hadn't really thought about it for a long time, but to be honest, I'm pretty clueless as to what I should do. Is there a 'thread' that gives advice, or perhaps an RNLI download, that I should read and digest?...
Good point says the old fart that went in the ant last July. At the spring gathering we had an interesting talk by 2 RNLI chaps.
1) Dont panic, lay back an float
2) Dont go in to rescue anyone as then there could be 2 to be rescued.
3) Use a throw bag/line to pull them in to the bank

Just now, grendel said:
the longest run of cable I have worked on was 6.5kM at 33.000 volts ducted all the way
The heaviest we worked on was 660v and some runs on that could be up to about 15m in concrete toughing and or concrete cable posts. That was at 33 1/3rd cycles not the 50 found in most buildings. It feed locations along the way to be transformed do to lower voltages for use 12v right through to 110v depending on the circuit it was to be used for.

at work we are usually working with bigger cables, longer cable runs, but we still have to allow for cable de-rating when running the whole length in cable ducts for example.
On the railway we used to run miles of cables, its surprising the gauge of cable for even a 12v half amp draw that had to be used. We also had to allow, for expansion and contraction of the conductors within the cables, some of which had 48 conductors.

This all seems a bit silly now, as once it leaves the consumer unit it is down to 13Amp (1.5mm) flex to the sockets.
Robin i'm rusty with regs these days, but depending on what your running on this ring main, it might well be advisable to lower the fuse ratings as 13a ring mains used to have to be 2.5mm cable not flex mate.
