I know you can just “get a boat and go” - but you do need certificates if, say, you decided to hop across the Channel to France. If I had a boat, this is the kind of thing I’d love to do with it. Still pondering, and may decide to revisit this in the spring.

My excuse is that I have amnesia and even if told before will not remember it now. Is that acceptable?  _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

You need no certificates to pop over to France etc. Afterall there is no requirement to carry any such papaerwork (as its not required to have it). I think there might be a requirment if you want to use the french waterways but not for the sea I have never heard of anyone being asked for any docuemnts (other than normal passport and obviously insurance if they have a prang)

At work, the protocol for dealing with a severely autistic girl, who's a head taller than me and about 5 stone heavier, who's freaked out and is attacking members of the public (the carer's shouted 'RUN!') is to evacuate site and call the Police.

Any mention of the use of tasers or tranquilliser darts? Or is it call the police armed response team? _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

Jesus Christ she's not an armed terrorist. Okay, so she's autistic, which means a little care in approaching her, but for crying out loud, tasers?!? Mark

Actually they need a horse. Turns out the company of horses can help dramatically. How you'd get a horse into work I don't know.

I do.  But we don't have horses. Lots of space, no distractions, a cup of tea and a sit down, with promises of ice cream while we stay out of sight and listen to her beating herself about the head and chest in between howls. I was more worried about the animals in the enclosure (they're free roaming) approaching out of curiosity, to be honest, as that's my job on a friday. I will admit to wondering to myself what the quickest way to promoting a state of unconsciousness in her would have been, had I needed to. I'd kinda planned on a sleeper hold.

I was not being serious. I think that treating autistic people that way is appalling. It is just the way that social services treat people, especially the disabled. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted.

I may have known that before making my seemingly random statement... Couldn't you just paint a zebra or something? Just in case it's needed in the future?
