Plenty more will get into difficulties this summer, every year is the same..
Jealousy is not a good look on you jo
I’m 65 years old! Why would I be jealous?…Jet skiing is definitely not my cup of tea, never has been and never will be…
Jet skis should be banned except for emergency services. They are hired out to fat, drunk men (former boy racers) who ride them into public beaches endangering swimmers and paddling children. They cause both noise and air pollution and disturb marine life.
No diffrent to a boat then? You have no clue do you laura.
O you do sound a boring person just because people are having fun you don’t like it, go back to watching your soaps on your tv
Classic attitude, I’ll do whatever I want, and I don’t care if it annoys others, what I want matters the most!
Bit of a strong stereotype assumption. It must happen but certainly not by all.
There will be some nutters on theses sea motor bikes just like motorbikes on the roads who spoil it for all.
Totally agree. People see and remember the ones who are behaving like idiots while not noticing the majority who behave perfectly responsibly. They then jump to the wrong assumption that everyone behaves stupidly.
Well said paul, some people are jealous off people having fun they just lead boring lives
Let’s ban everything shall we. Nothing wrong with motorbikes or jet ski let nobody have a life just drive around in oversize cars at 20 mph shall we
Talk about prejudice! You also happen to be totally wrong.
No Laura, you are. To come out with such ridiculous, sweeping statements about people you know nothing about shows just how bigoted you are. I’m glad I don’t know you.
Wow, you don’t like them so no else can use them. Well done. Next Iaura you’re be banning telling jokes. I expect soon you’re be calling for book burnings.
Also, you just committed a hate crime with your sexist comment. Well done, you’re tory ideals that allows the government to clamp down on our rights just back fired.
I think you will find it was the Labour Party under Tony Blair that dumped the native workers and replaced them with cheaper Labour from other nations, he was working for the big corporation’s that now treat us has peasants…
Now we have an housing crisis that can’t cope with a million migrants every year, we can’t easily get to see a doctor or receive medical care in our hospitals…Our pay can’t cope with rising cost of living, all because of cheaper workers from other nations, and don’t forget he helped killing a million people in Iraq, where were the mass demonstration that we see today when Israel has been attacked for thire very existence???..
You far-left fascist make me feel sick…
That would be ‘you’ll be” not “you’re be”. That would also be “your Tory” not “you’re tory”. That would also be “backfired” not “back fired”. It’s not difficult if you have a brain.
You think you’re superior to people that are not spelling experts, however, you still understood what Fred was saying…Your a patronising, up your own ass nasty person…Go back down the hole you just crawled from….
Oh dear, that would be “to people who are”, not “to people that are”. It would be also be “You’re a patronising” not “Your a patronising”. It’s not difficult if you have a brain. And I haven’t a clue what Fred was banging on about; he’s totally incomprehensible.
Well, they certainly disturb bottom feeders don’t they Laura?
