Wot - no sandcastles??

Off to the sea-side.  Bucket and spade, yes?  Well, bucket OK, but if you're going to Weston (super Mare, that is) you may as well leave your spade behind, because the Somerset emergency services have warned against the digging of holes in the sand on - well, you can guess, can't you - health and safety grounds. Despite what some newspaper headlines would have it, they haven't actually banned it, but have advised against it.  But it's part of the magic of being on the beach, isn't it?  Try telling your kids they can't dig in the sand? - Good luck with that!
