    In fairness, swimming lessons and cycling proficiency are rarely funded by LEAs these days. Swimming lessons and cycling proficiency were part of the curriculum in primary and junior schools (UK), but that was back in the 70s. Notwithstanding, I could already swim and ride a bike by then, but the lessons were invaluable, nonetheless.

    One emergency at a time, surely? First is immediate survival.

    Look at the annual drownings in the UK and more than average percentage is Indians and Africans.

    Appreciated. I'm a strong swimmer, but I avoid the sea. Too many variables that can lead to death. Simple as that.
  5. torturedsole
    Nonsense.

    It's fair to say a lot of Thais can't swim. This also includes a lot of Indians and Africans. An adventurous non-swimmer can soon find themselves in a life or death situation and invariably involves cooling off in the heat where they're lured to their deaths.

    Any stats on the hostages?

    Digital is the way forward.

    I don't think the bank is interested, as long as it's delivered by fax.

    I note you edited your original post to remove go annoy someone else. Okay then, I've tried to help as have many others on this thread. Good bye and good luck. Ignore.

    You were provided that information already in the form of use the local internet cafe. But it's not free.

    ...or our age. Haha. Joking aside, millions of kids viewed these PiFs, particularly as there were only three channels back then, so captive audience (in between Grange Hill). Wasn't a member of Tufty Club, but was in the Cubs, Scouts and Army Cadets with their strong emphasis on health and safety. I also passed my cycling proficiency in juniors.

    Strange OP, to be honest. The answer has been provided in various forms but you're still not happy. Why didn't you mention your reluctance in the OP. There's no helping some people.

    ... and not forgetting Charley Says.

    RNLI (UK) provide good advice here: https://rnli.org/safety/float The PIFs back in 70s and 80s were certainly educational and mildly entertaining at same time. Atomic bombs to crossing the road with Darth Vadar. It was good stuff.
