 Up
  A HQ floor in Devon

Hi

Hope someone can help. I have a small group of scout leaders who will be
doing some open boat training in Devon - probably on the Dart - early next
year. We are looking to see if someone has a HQ or hut floor we can kip on
to help keep costs under control - obviously a suitable donation will be
made.

If you can help - email me at scoutsATwarspite.org.uk

Many thanks

Rich

  Jim Davidson outwitted by boy Scout heckler

I shouldn't find this funny....

"Jim Davidson was furious after being put in his place - by a
heckling boy Scout....during a packed pantomime.

Davidson, in character as Dick Whittington, asked the Kent audience:
'Do you know who I am?"

And the Scout, in full uniform, 'brought the house down' by yelling
back: 'Yes, you're a f*****g w*****r.'"

Not sure why I need to repeat this, I have said it more than once.

If someone suffers financial loss (which includes being unable to
work), then they should be entitled to compensation.

It can't really, but since we have nothing but money to do this with...
plus, there is the idea that the compensation payment is a punitive
measure against the culpable party (although, this doesn't really work
when said party has insurance).

That all said, I don't agree with excessive litigation...
