Re: fuel filling
Piers,
You must dread the times that you see the needle nearing the empty. Not because of the cost to fill up but because every MBM reader in the area will be cracking jokes at your expense.
I think Jake owes you big time for putting that article to print and you are a brave man for letting him do it!!

I tell I'm not going to miss that one weekend of the year.
Duncan as MBM won't help us smaller boaters, it looks like we will have to do it on our own.

Re: \"letting him print\"
As far as I know, MBM or any other mag can print anything it likes, about anyone. If it's totally untrue, then they risk Court action, but even if it is rubbish, one would have to be able to define the damages in monetary terms. It's nice of jake if he asked first, but not a requirement.

Re: fuel filling
Dom,
If there's one thing I've learnt in life - you have to learn to take the rough with the rough....
...and let it run off your back like duck's water - or is it water off a duck's back...?

Re: "letting him print"
Hi Mat,
I can assure you it was me that suggested to Jake that I wrote the artice - and it's all completely true!
That was on the West Country cruise when I was acting as a control boat.
Yours, suitably embarrassed, Piers

Re: \"letting him print\"
I didnt think people would be so serious about that item, it was strictly light hearted humour. Some of you need to get out in your boats and relax a little!!!
It was a good article and very informative about a problem that can happen so easily. its just that Piers got a bit of public humiliation at the end of it.

Re: 3rd party liability insurance??
Thanks for your enlightening points Kim, you raised several that I hadn't considered and I humbly take back any criticism, implied or actual, of the organisation of the CIC. I really didn't realise there was so much to consider.
As an aside your analogue of the tripping guests is quite relevant. I had a meeting eerlier today and was given a bit of a roasting by my client's H&S people becuse I hadn't produced a COSHH analsis of the propreitary hand cleaning cream that my men use to clean their hands after work. It seems that I have to PROVE that if, with their hands all gooey with the cream, they were to clap their hands and a bit of cream squirted into their eye, I have to show that it wouldn't cause any medical problem. Likewise if a residue of the cream maybe stuck under their fingernail and got transferred to say a sandwich that they then swallowed, I have to prove it's not poisonous. Honest this is straight up. As you say "litigious times" eh
Maybe we should all have disclaimers plastered all over the boat. I'll ask my wife if that'd be OK. Back to the doghouse for me.

Re: 3rd party liability insurance??
I've seen discaimers handed out and, in one case, posted in a wheelhouse window. It begs another thread really...prize for silliest (and therefore most likely) disclaimer?
