High cost of an encounter with the clampers
Article Abstract:
Government action is requested by the AA and the RAC to regularise car clamping activities. Operators have blocked drivers in and demanded money even in circumstances involving taking a sick child to the doctor. Fees for releasing vehicles are often exorbitant. Legislation could include illuminated warning signs, a minimum release time and charges in line with those for clamping on public highways. Michael Jack, Minister of State at the Home Office, will introduce proposals to Parliament in autumn 1992.

I want to be a skipper but I've got cold feet
Article Abstract:
Five days training around the Kent coast can prepare amateur sailors for Royal Yachting Association qualifications. Day skipper and coastal skipper certificates can be gained through courses run by the Victoria Sea School. The courses last five days and take in 250 miles from St Katharine's Dock in London to Warsash oustide Southampton. The gruelling course is better taken in winter as the winds and weather can be difficult and challenging thus giving confidence to sail in all weathers.
