I'm a trained Lifeguard, but even I couldn't say how I would have reacted in the circumstances, as I wasn't there. Obviously we would all like to do what ever we can to help others, but it does seem that in this instance, that the situation was dealt with in the safest possible way.
The one thing I do know is how dangerous ANY open water is, not just the sea, and that it should be treated with a great deal of respect and caution.

Perhaps your ad was in the incorrect category? If you've only had your ad deleted and not been banned, think yourself lucky. It wastes a great deal of our time moving/deleting ads that are NOT in the correct categories. If you discover your ad has been deleted, make sure when you place another one that you put it in the correct category.
Perhaps you had more than one ad in the same category? If this was the case, please make sure you simply modify and update ONE per category, as per the guidelines.
I'm afraid we can't recover deleted ads. Just get on and post another, paying particular attention to all the rules and category choice, or you may find yourself with all your ads deleted and yourself banned the next time.

But there are two blokes in your avatar Jags. One is kneels before you with two hands cleary visible. Who's is the third hand that is creeping up the bottom of your leg there?

I very briefly considered trying to register for a ticket to this, but to be honest no band (not even Led Zep) is worth £125 a ticket, even for a one-off performance.
I'll probably spend the evening at home with a couple of good bootlegs, that way I'm guaranteed a great concert.

As to the conspiracy theory, I was seriously wondering if some long term posters can post certain things purely because they have been around for a while. There are loads of situations in life where it would be inappropriate for a newcomer to say something that an established member of a group could say without fear of of being put down.
I have loads of conspiracy theories for anyone that wants to hear !!!
Why has my post/thread been locked/deleted!?
Firstly, please carefully read our Forum Posting Guidelines to gain some insight as to why this may have happened. Also, refamiliarize yourself with the forum registration terms you agreed to, paying particular attention to this section: You agree that the webmaster, administrator and moderators of this forum have the right to remove, edit, move or close any topic at any time should they see fit.
Usually when a post is locked the reason is given by the Moderator who locked it. If your post/thread was deleted then it was most likely considered so pointless or such an infringement of the AUP that it should no longer remain on the site.

:roll: The EU's deadline of December 31st, 2009 to enforce metric only labels and ban any supplementary indicators (Imperial measurements) on goods after the deadline has been abolished. On May 9th, 2007 the European Commission agreed to allow supplementary indications alongside the statutory metric indications beyond 2009.
The United Kingdom completed its legal transition to SI units in 1995, but a few such units are still in official use: draught beer must still be sold in pints, roadsign distances must be in yards and miles, and speed limits are in miles per hour, therefore interfaces in cars must be capable of displaying miles per hour. Even though the troy pound was outlawed in Great Britain in the Weights and Measures Act of 1878, the troy ounce still may be used for the weight of precious stones and metals. The railways are also a big user of imperial units, with distances officially measured in miles and yards or miles and chains, and also feet and inches, and speeds are in miles per hour, although many modern metro and tram systems are entirely metric, and London Underground uses both metric (for distances) and Imperial (for speeds). Metric is also used for the Channel Tunnel, and also the Channel Tunnel Rail Link high speed line, Adjacent to Ashford International railway station and Dollands Moor International Freight Terminal, speeds are given in both Metric and Imperial units.
The use of SI units is mandated by law for the retail sale of food and other commodities, but most British people still use Imperial units in colloquial discussion of distance (miles) and speed (miles per hour). Milk is available in both litre and pint containers, with appropriate conversions as well. Many people still measure their weight in stones and pounds, and height in feet and inches — but these must be converted to metric if recorded officially, for example on passports. For example petrol is sometimes quoted as being so much per gallon, despite having been sold exclusively in litres for two decades. Likewise, fuel consumption for cars is still usually in miles per gallon, though official figures always include litre per 100 km equivalents. Fahrenheit equivalents are sometimes given after Celsius in weather forecasts, especially for high temperatures (e.g. temperatures will reach as high as 90 degrees tomorrow).
