Kopek Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Back in the 60's I'd have loved to be a Boy Racer, sadly the boxy Viva didn't quite cut it!!! Should the Police drive these kids off the quay? To then go where? Popping n banging in YOUR district? One individual error should not curtail 'fun' of the others?

The Duck of Atholl Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I lived down on South Quay until fairly recently. The car boys and girls were a minor annoyance but not really any trouble as such. In any event I was brought up in a petrol head household and even though I’m not one now I thought it would be hypocritical of me to moan about them. The far more frequent idiocy on the mountain is more of a problem 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A fool and his money.....

All the staff and equipment are already paid for, even if nothing ever happens! What would they be doing otherwise? They put all the costs of 'hire' of the various pieces of equipment and the hours of the people attending together and come up with a ridiculous sum! Admittedly there may be call out charges for a few volunteers or people on standby, that is mostly the only additional cost to what we already bear, and as has already been said, a good training exercise, practice makes perfect! I remember hearing once, admittedly a long time ago, that NHS treatment for injuries sustained in road accidents was not free, presumably to be paid for by the relevant insurance company. I've never heard it before or since, but it was from a usually reliable source, BBC R4 I think although I can't remember for sure. Anyone ever heard that? I'm sure it's not enforced even if true.

I would imagine emergency and critical care is free. Long term specialist care (over and above the minimum or expensive disability aids) is perhaps claimed off the 3rd party insurance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
