Cheesey Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Just to stir things up a bit but that conker story was in fact, just that. The truth was that the mess left behind needed extra work to tidy away so the school did not want to pay overtime so they banned it claiming H and S regs. Organised events however do need a level of protection. Back to topic, I think you got to admit to yourself that death creeps up to you in many forms and the death of that couple was a bit of a odd one and when you look at the chances of that happening.... Buy and fit an alarm why not? but don't leave common sense at home by trusting it all the time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Not a good subject to bring up again, but its affect on safety concerns all of us. I seem to remember that they said inquest results would be published in November. Has anyone heard any news? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Not yet. Last published details here: https://www.gov.uk/maib-reports/safety-warning-after-carbon-monoxide-poisoning-on-motor-cruiser-results-in-loss-of-2-lives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16E Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 There is also another investigation underway following an incident in Cardiff earlier in November. The point about the 'rescuers' being affected should be a lesson to us all to take care and not put more lives at risk through good intentions. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/carbon-monoxide-poisoning-fatality-cardiff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I am quite sure I am very out of touch with the requirements of a modern family but have we gone to far when half the equipment on a boat just dies without the engine running constantly! Not needed in our case - we bring our own (except ours is a sailing dinghy) and not forgetting the wind-up radio! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smellyloo Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 A glamper would probably hate camping and a camper would be bored glamping. I guess there's room for both tastes; as for me .... I look down on the campers and up to the glampers but if I was in a pickle I would seek advice from a camper. PS I could concider living in a modified, floating shipping container, thoughtfully mounted I think it would pass under most bridges and wouldn't require planning permission .......... Maybe my next project .......... Ebay here I come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Take one standard height shipping container, suitably ballasted down to pass under Broadland's bridges, oh bother, it's run aground. Probably will need planning permission after all! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
