I don't think the advice to stay away from the sea in such conditions is
unreasonable, bearing in mind it is aimed at the public in general. It
is not exactly an essential activity to go and take photos and if people
get it wrong then it means the emergency services or the coastguard
having to put themselves at risk to bail them out.

I'm starting to feel guilty. We only went to do a bit of shopping,
honest.



I wasn't criticizing you, I was attempting to counter the implication
that it is wrong for officials to advise people to avoid the coastline
in dangerous sea conditions.

I appreciate health and safety can go over the top occasionally but I
don't think severe weather advice in this case comes into that category.
