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.

1. Book early
It may seem obvious but the holiday industry is like any other business affected
by the basic economics of supply and demand. The best time to book, according to
travel agent Trailfinders, is 11 months before you're due to travel. The flights
have just been released and there's plenty of cheaper seats available.
2. Book late
The rules of supply and demand also apply in last few days before the departure
date. If there are unsold seats and hotel rooms, you can bag a bargain with a
few clicks of the mouse, or a phone call or two.
3. Buy a package
The internet has been a godsend for people who wish to bypass the travel agent
and arrange their own trips. But here's a little-known tip: if you are booking a
flight and a car, or flight and accommodation, by packaging the two deals
together, an agent can often offer a much better deal than if you were to book
separately, even online. Call it creative accounting if you will, but it can
save hundreds of pounds on a long-haul trip.

24. Book your cab in advance
Getting to and from the airport can end up being a significant additional
expenditure. In the UK minicabs are a sensible option but you must book in
advance. If you don't, and you want a taxi, the only option are the official
on-site ranks, which can cost a fortune.
25. Book your airport parking in advance
Turn up on the day and you'll very likely feel sick at the price you'll have to
pay just to park your car for a week or two. So do your research, check your
insurance or AA membership for special tie-in offers, check hotels that offer
one-night, pre-flight stays that include long-term parking, look for off-site
parking offers, or, best of all, get someone to run you there and back.
26. Cut your speed on motorways
According to the AA, driving at 80mph on the motorways instead of 70mph costs an
extra 4p a mile - or an extra litre of petrol every 20 miles. This may not sound
much but it will add an extra £80 to a 2,000-mile tour of Europe. For
lawbreakers driving at 90 or 100mph the costs are significantly higher – and you
run the risk of heavy fines.

43. Don't let Disney take the Mickey
The mousesavers website maybe for American people but it is definitely worth a
read if you want to do Disney for less.
44. Track down local restuarants
In Venice, in general, the closer a restaurant is to St Mark's Square the more
touristy and expensive it is. Remember, wherever you go local people eat out
too. Avoid the tourist traps and you'll be better fed and richer.
45. Check in to the library
For free guide books pop in to your local library. You can ask for an extended
borrowing period if you are worried about not getting the books back on time, or
renew them online.
