Surely some mistake? The country's much thinner at that end.

If these were local people what the hell were they doing playing in the sea
at high tide not to mention cold winds.
I suppose nothing ever changes, these idiots always play silly and dangerous
games at the expence of the taxpayer and charity giver.


I don't think they were *in* the sea, merely walking along the front.
Neither do I know if conditions were bad enough to make the
average person stay away or whether it was only a little rough
and it was a genuine 'freak' wave and they were simply unlucky.

You could of course close of the promenade at the slightest hint
of bad weather, but then you will get the inevitable accusations
of the 'nanny state' taking over.

What do you do?

They were on a slipway leading down to the sands...possibly running back to
avoid incoming swell and a much larger swell caught them....children will be
children!!!. Very foolish according to local opinion (Look North TV)...lots
of notices warning of the dangers!!
