All civil offences I suspect so nowt to do with the Police. Rather like standing on cracks in the pavementExceeding the 5 knots speed limit and excessive wash likely to cause damage to both moored craft and river banks.
Its all in the Mudway bye laws. 1924.

14a/b should do nicely for a start and then 52.
Appears they can confiscate the vessel until the fine of a fiver is paid.
The lock staff can and do request the assistance of the police to carry out their duties.

Sir I deplore violence of any kind , it seems when you described the boat captain it sounded like was hammered , so anyone in that condition cannot fight , especially on a pontoon . B

I did say I’d seen the video. I clearly saw the punch and the kick. So it seems you are calling me a liar.
That’s fine. You don’t know me.
I sincerely hope it stays that way.

Well Els in my world there is no fights everything is seen is a joke ,and if you don't like having the pis taken out of you ,it may be a northern thing . But remember it's you that is boating in a world of violence, not me.

Fair enough I missed that you were being sarcastic.

I've been boating since I was 10 years old, but never like that.

100% agree.
Many of us were virtually bought up "on the water" and had drummed into us the various etiquettes by the "old hands",one of which was to look ahead and slow down if your wash was likely to be problem or to even inconvenience somebody , good practical reason for this, it was small world , and you were very likely to meet the chap you had caused a problem to shortly afterwards and a frank exchange of views was likely.
Can remember great importance being given to the shapes of various bits of metal bobbing around on the water, names to call the front and back of your boat but nothing regards good manners when attending any RYA " How To Drive ones TSMY " course.

The reason everyone's eyes are out on stalks is that this just doesn't happen very often.
Whether that's Ooop North or Darn Sarf.

Really, I am glad to say I would like to agree with you but we would then both be wrong

I remember around 20 years ago a fight started outside a pub as we were walking past, two lads attacking another lad. It was terrifying, the sound of the punches hitting his face, and the kick to the head when the poor lad was on the ground will never leave me. And I used to be a boxer in my youth.
I don't know what you would class as violent.

Well if I was at both offences, the first thing I would do is try to stop it , not walk on by or video it .
