Where can I find info?
I didn't intend to insult anyone, if I did, I apologize . . . but not
for my comments to the 'general readership'. I don't mind this type of discussions; my only regret is that it can't be continued face-to-face over a pot of good coffee, or some chilled wine. it is tragic they way it is going. I've just left my college and I've (unofficially) offered my services to the boat club for repair of rowing craft and to help out when they attend regattas. I can't offer it officially, even though as a student I could do all the above, as a non-student I'm a massive risk. I know that school trips will shortly become impossible because nobody can take the risk of a private action being brought against them. People had to be brought to account for incompetence and idiocy to make sure that (for example) trips were properly thought out. But too much of it now is all about the money. As my boss says of two lawyers he knows: "What a dirty way to make your money" because as he sees it, you're doing your job when the guilty are set free and the innocent are punished, making money out of human misery. All of which is getting far from the point, which is that the necessity of watching your backside all the time detracts from the pleasure of such sports and interests as ours. I have to be slightly careful when ringing round friends to organise canoeing trips, and god forbid I should crash my car while giving someone a lift... ....anyone have any thoughts on how to rediscover sanity?
