    Not offended at all, Bob, the family filmed it themselves so no naming and shaming. I think by highlighting this it will, hopefully, educate boaters into thinking twice about doing something so dangerous and for that you have done a sterling job. The very thought of what could happen and the consequences doesn't bear thinking about, well done

    thankyou Grace

    Thanks for putting me staight on this ..... as you probably realised I didn't view said footage.

    My appology also to bob48 as in this case if footage uploaded by the BBQ'ers then they can't complain if said footage is subjected to scrutiny.

    no need for apology Smellyloo , it  was a good point that you made .

    Whilst I appreciate that you didn't post the link I really do dislike this sort of sneaky filming and consequent blame game.

    Regarding BBQ's on boats some are designed for this to be OK unfortunately some people really do very unwise things.

    I witnessed a chap at St Olaves BBQ on the boat on top of his gas locker. ..... Before I could tie my boat up a chap from the boat yard opposite had hot footed across the bridge to share his thoughts with the skipper.

    forgive me , i had no intention of blaming anybody , what i tried to do was highlight the stupidity of lighting what appears to be a gas barbeque on a clearly moving boat .also i  asked for thoughts about what will , would or should happen to persons caught or filmed doing this , as i said i certainly would not have them back on any boat i hired ( if i were a hirer that is )

    No doubt some of you have see the recent video on youtube of the gentleman  using what appears to be a barbeque  ON  a boat , now i'm no expert ,but i would consider this to be beyond stupid ,  i was wondering , what would happen to these individuals  now that this has been uploaded , sure the boatyard that had welcomed them would be able to stop them from going back , do any of you have any thoughts on this matter , the reason i ask is,  because if i, were a hire yard owner , they would certainly not be hiring one of my vessels again . if you haven't seen the clip , it's on youtube under the title "  £300,00 boat experience down the norfolk broads "

     

    if you skip forward to the 5 minute mark you'll be able to see what i mean

    i'd like to thank deebee and Mowjo , for your concern for my Mum, she is doing well the swelling has gone down and the rather nasty bruise has faded somewhat  ,at 72 years of age she is still very independant and as you can imagine this has rather put the kaibosh on her getting about , it has made her very irritable to say the least , i shall pass on your regards to her . thankyou again.

    Bobcheers
