Wow the world is different.

And yeah Gary, I agree. How did they get away with it.. Also how would you get a job like that.

From memory they had to be 2″ wide – could be wrong, it could have been even wider!! We used to tie the sides to make them smaller and untie them when the `patrol’ used to come along!! They used to make people leave the beach if they didn’t comply.
