observer Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Seems a NHS Trust in Hull, is considering purchasing a sailing yacht - the theory being, that young deprived folk can steered onto a road of a healthy lifestyle - errrm, a bit tenuous. Whilst some form of challenge may be a usefull character builder for youngsters, not sure it's the responsibility of the Health Service to provide - what do you think?

Paul Kennedy Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Maybe the Chief Exec of the PCT likes sailing. What is wrong with a dingy and a pair of oars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 perhaps he should buy a galley would give them more exercise and teach them teamwork and the bonus being they would be too tired to get into trouble after a few hours rowing around the harbour giving sightseeing tours at a fiver a head to pay for the upkeep. by eck that could be an alternative for those on community service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egbert Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Baz I think you have to travel a little further south before people start pronouncing yacht as "yort"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, but before he edited the initial post (about 25 minutes before you replied I notice) yacht had been spelt as yaught; hence my comment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
