It that were me then basics like that would be required learning before going out.
I'm not a killjoy, but as said, folks don't understand risk anymore.
Couldn't agree more, it isn't as if there aren't places you can go and learn it all in safety.
You're probably aware I come from seafaring stock (Ships engineers and one who was a cabin boy on tea clippers, and that is only the ones I know about, born in Hull and all that!) and it is thoroughly dinned into one that the sea is an extremely dangerous and unforgiving place to be.
Can't remember not being able to tie knots or row a boat.

If the kid didn't have a clue, then dad likely didn't either, which makes it worse.
Parents are supposed to be responsible adults

take your time, he was rushing to get the rib untied n slipped on the deck. He was massive as well.. for god sake it would be like
getting a block of flats landing on top of you. 🤣
 
Thanks for the chance to ride along here at LZ for the past decade or so (even though it's on the wrong side of the road).

I found out a lot of things here. About Land Rovers, about how pants are actually underwear, and life and attitudes around the world.

The support and encouragement during my cancer treatment will always be remembered. To those who wished me dead, who knows. You may still get your wish any day. After all it's cancer.

I’ve laughed so hard at posts here that my stomach hurt over the years. Lately things haven't been so funny. Things have changed I guess.

WeIl, I just came to my exit. I'm going to get out here. Good luck and God speed, everybody. It's a crazy world.

God save the King.

Hey man, we'll be sorry to no longer have your input.
It's been good knowing you.
Good luck and God speed to you too.
All the best.
