stealing sea water

[YoursTruly]

Surely its not April 1st already, you know what, this year has flown by.


I must borrow at least 100 gallon per week on average, i say borrow because when the worms are finished using it i flush it down the drain which leads back to the sea, so it is returned.

I think someone is having a laugh, and i have to say i wish i had thought of it.

As for the police, then i have nothing but respect for them even though there is one or two who can be a bit dodgy but on the whole they do a good job.

stealing sea water

have the police got nothing better to do these days-i know a lad that gets in the boat club where i am steward he is in the river police on the tyne i will ask him what rule that comes under-but me personaly just think he was being a t**t

i hope that this is a wind up, i keep marine fish, im on a fair few forums and a fair few of the lads collect sea water for thier tanks, as has been said the waste water is put down the drains so goes back to the sea anyway, people collect rain water, which also ends up in the sea so are they pinching it ??, no ifs or buts like in every other job in the world there are jobs worths, would be interesting if this was for real what the cps would make of it, or even the booking officer at the local nick, possibly even be worth refusing to accept a caution to see just how far it would be taken, getting the local newspapers and councilors to support you as well, i know if i can find a decent area to collect clean water from i will be removing around 30-40 gallons every month or so

perhaps time to log how much water your household heaves away and recollect it for your own use from the beach

Like I said earlier. Before we all fall out ova this daft thread, yea we all got opinions about each other and occupations,and as stated, Yea we have good/bad in all occupations, but please dont tar us all, with the same brush as the bad ones. Can I recommend that this Post be ended or even removed, and when I find out the truth of the matter, then I will post what ACTUALLY HAPPENED on the day/night in question.
I know for a certain fact, that the Durham Police have a good relationship with the Anglers of Seaham, and only a few weeks ago, I directed some Anglers from Newcastle down onto the Prom with their vehicle, stating that it would be safer there. Night time is no problem, its just during the day that complaints arise, from the dog walkers and familys, so not advisable to drive onto the prom..

Even if the comments made were true I find it amazing that on websites like this people are very quick to slag each other off and go from DEFCON 1 to DEFCON 999 (police joke hahaha) because they are at the ends of a keyboard. If the same people were on the end of a pier or beach drowning some worms (no that is not cruelty to animals) I bet the conversation would be a lot more civil and a good night would be had by all. So come on everyone, group hug and get at those Parking Wardens instead (only kidding).

I think the police are great especialy the dog handlers.

You're having a laugh. I was the first one on here to call the officer (if true) a t**t, and imo he is (if true)

As for you thinking I've been in trouble with the police because I call this officer (if true), well you could be right. I have, in 42 years, collected 3 points for speeding, and that was last year. As you can see, I'm a hardened criminal.

For your information, 2 of my mates are in the police, and I was telling one of them about this story. Do you know what he said? "What a p***k"

So before you get round to labelling me a t**t or a c***, and saying I haven't got 2 brain cells to rub together, take a deep breath and look in the mirror.

why do people do that then? you have taken offence to those words being used and i am not allowed to is that right? there was clearly some angst going on throwing insults like that around only serves to make the situation worse. i had a rant as my p*ss was boiling. they were simply the words used used earlier in the thread thats it. as for your mates well i wonder what they will do next time someone calls them a c**t at work, ive got a fair idea. things can easily be misinterpreted when read like this. i have no more to say on the this thread i,m off to steal some sea water!!

I too keep tropical marine fish and have done so for many years. I've always been aware that it is illegal to remove sand, creatures or water from beaches but I have never heard of anyone being pulled for it.
IMO topics like this become emotive not because people have a lack of respect for the law or the police but because they are frustrated by the impotence of the police to deal with the types of crime that effects us all in our day to day lives. Lets face it, the odds of getting caught speeding are far greater than the odds of having your burgled possessions retrieved. The police have a thankless job and are in a no win situation but when we hear about situations like this ( if true ) then it doesn't inspire confidence in policing priorities.
I really hope that this is an windup because if it is true then it means that there's a copper out there who should never have gotten through the aptitude tests and is doing nothing more than destroying the publics confidence in the police.

No you don't flush it down the drain as you would need a trade effluent licence to do that. You take it back to the beach

Rubbish! Absolute rubbish! Sand and stones yes - water....no way!

I might stand corrected on the water? but no need to put it like that.
