Re: dolphins
On a lighter note, the funniest thing I saw involving those machines was an episode of Only Fools and Horses when the Mafia
treated Del to a ride on one in Florida, they fixed it so it went out to sea and just kept going, sadly, they don't make em like that
anymore

a double part as a look alike Mafia Don
, it's very funny and is still available on ebay as DVD format, I've got the full box set

Re: dolphins
One place to see dolphins in the U.K. Off Aberdeen harbour the BBC even made a programme about them. I think but memory not clear the YOBs on ski jets were warned off though it may have been the ones at Chanonry Point in the Moray Firth an other great place to watch for dolphins. The clip is Aberdeen.

I think the answer to those situations is a water meter at every property, people like said neighbours might
think twice if they were charged by the litre and knew it was being recorded, for me that is the fairest way, cheers

Re: dolphins
Yes ,love it at our local boat ramp here i Mangawhai nz, seeing the tickets getting slapped on these plonkers tearing amongst the swimmers in the estuary they have a marked out lane further out,but still tear around kids swimming .Out side at the heads, on the bar where the surfers are ,they tear along the top of the wave and stuff the chance of a surfer getting a shot .One clever person filmed a clown that had been annoying people for some time and posted it on face book as he retrieved his jet ski at the ramp using a well decorated company ute , did he get in the **** ,fined lost his company car ,and no doubt got a right tongue lashing from his employer ,the locals received a apology on their face book page from the company concerned
