Beach Safety : Safety Advice
Millions of people enjoy spending time at beaches around the
UK every year. Being aware of the dangers at the beach and spotting the hazards
will ensure that your visit to the beach is a happy event and does not turn into
a tragedy. When visiting the beach, especially if you have children with you,
consider the following:-
Spot the dangers
Do a check of the beach when you arrive. Notice whether there are lifeguards
available, whether the tide is in or out, are there rocks, piers, groynes or
breakwaters that may affect paddling and bathing. Is the beach busy? Are there
watersports taking place, are these in zoned areas? What are the sea conditions
like, does the beach shelve steeply?
Take safety advice
Try and choose a beach that offers a lifeguard service and swim where the patrol
operates, within the area of red/yellow flags. Look for safety information which
may include warning signs and know what the flags mean:-
|
 |
Red and Yellow – Lifeguards on patrol.
Two flags at the waters edge denote where the patrolled bathing area is. |
|
Red – Dangerous to bathe or swim and you
should not go into the water. |
|
|
 |
Quartered black and white flag - shows
that an area is zoned off for watersport activities, swimmers and bathers
should avoid this area, it is not safe for them. |
Go together
Children should always go with an adult, not by themselves. Don’t swim alone.
Make sure that you know where everyone in your group is. Constant supervision is
the only real means of ensuring your child’s safety.

50 ways to save on your holidays
Richard Browning
SCHOOLS are clamping down on parents who take
their children on holiday during term time. At best, to get permission for even
one extra day off at either end of a holiday requires a degree of form filling
and letter writing that wouldn't be out of place in a Soviet police station.
Even then, the final decision rests on the whim of the chairman of governors.
While the difference a day makes to a child's education is unquantifiable, it
can add thousands of pounds to the price of a family holiday. But with this
option of saving money virtually outlawed, how do you stick within the rules
without breaking the bank?
Here are some examples from the article on how to save money on your holiday.

7. House swap
You may think you live in a horrid, torrid suburban time warp - but to an
American visitor your home could well the quaint historic corner of Britain that
they've been yearning for. Likewise, their 'small' tumble-down hovel will
probably feel like a mansion. Give it at try.
8. Check out the special 'anti-truancy' deals
As part of the Government's Every Lesson Counts campaign to cut down on truancy,
major holiday companies have developed special deals such as free child places
and money off for adults. Ask your school for details or contact the travel
firms - but bear in mind that many of these offers may still be cheaper
elsewhere.
9. Surf for a deal
It's one of the things the internet does best. Compare flights, create your own
holidays and book online - or use it for research then phone around the High
Street chains and haggle.

19. Haggle for your hotel by email
One tip we like is to find accommodation recommended in guide books and on the
travel websites - then email them directly to check for availability. Wait a few
weeks and check again. If it's still available you're in a strong position to
haggle for a deal. Email is particularly useful for people who hate haggling
face to face or by phone.
20. Collect newspaper tokens
Many newspapers have a travel club or offer travel discounts that involve
collecting tokens. Some of them offer a fantastic opportunity to save money on
your holiday. Others don't, so always read the small print.
21. Check the latest exchange rates
Fluctuations in the value of the pound can mean the difference between being
able to afford a holiday in the US and not. At current rates, America is around
20% cheaper than a couple of years ago. Also, think about visiting countries
with currencies aligned to the dollar such as those in Latin America and the
Caribbean.

31. How to locate cheap train tickets
Since the railways were privatised, unearthing cheap train tickets can seem
impossible. But it's really quite simple. There are basically three types of
ticket. The 'cheapo', available if you book 28 days or more in advance; the
just-about-affordable if booked 14 days or more in advance; and the forget-it,
which is what you'll pay in the last week before you travel. Best is to check
individual websites for details. Tip: For peak periods at Christmas and Easter
the 'cheapo' tickets go on sale about eight or nine weeks before the respective
festive period and by 'cheapo' we mean around £25 return to cross most of the
country rising to three or four times the price if you leave it to the last
minute.
32. Don't fly on Fridays or Saturdays
Useless advice if you want to get away for a week at half-term but during the
summer or Easter if you can fly on weekdays you can save a lot of money. BA.com
has a useful fare search tool that allows you to select the cheapest day to fly.
33. It's your (holiday) money
Remember commission-free doesn't mean profit free. Shop around before exchanging
currency.
