Wat was de reden voor ‘the Department of Transport’ om de heer Hunt te schorsen? A Hij bracht het leven van kinderen in gevaar. B Hij had zich misdragen tegenover kinderen. C Hij hielp kinderen op een plek waar hij niet mocht staan. last night after they Michael Hunt, 60, who used his initiative to come to the rescue of youngsters struggling to dodge traffic just yards from his allotted crossing point, described the decision as ‘ludicrous’. But the retired RAF squadron leader was removed from duties for ‘misconduct’ because his bosses said he could have been run over on the dangerous stretch. Despite the dire risk assessment, schoolchildren must now cross the road on their own. Tory MP Phillip Davies, who described Mr Hunt’s treatment as ‘stark, raving bonkers,’ added: “Here is a man looking to do his job, yet these officials are more worried about him getting run over and suing for compensation than the kids he is supposed to look after.” He was stationed at a busy T-junction on the A1 close to Marown Primary school on the Isle of Man. But Mr Hunt also decided to help pupils who got off at a nearby bus stop and had no option but to cross the adjoining road. He was spotted by a Government inspector who ordered him to stop. The Department of Transport on the Isle of Man stood by its decision. A spokesman said: “We have a responsibility to schoolchildren, drivers and the school-crossing patrol officer to locate prescribed school crossings in safe areas.”

I can think of no other sport where cheating happens so often. Some of these
so-called sportsmen would be more at home in the World Wrestling federation
with their theatrical dives. Don’t fine players - they won’t miss the money - but
let’s see teams get points deducted. The managers would soon put a stop to it
when it affects their league position.
How often do you see players like Lampard, Gerrard and Shearer dive? When
they fall to the ground they are always back up with the intention of playing on -
no use to a team on the floor. Bring in laws that back the referees should they
book the player for a dive and also allow greater punishment (sending-off!)
should they show that a dive resulted in an unfair game.
Nigel Renshaw, Newbury
Diving is all part of the entertainment. Football doesn’t happen in a sterile
environment, nor should it. You keep taking away all those abuses and fun
aspects of football and you will have a boring environment. It is for referees to
use their eyes, observe the game and pass out yellow and red cards where
necessary.
Diving contributes to a culture of mistrust among players, fans and refs alike.
Children on playgrounds now act as if they are injured and practise diving as a
matter of course. The FA should send a clear message and ban the cheats for
substantial periods.

Thrill-seekers are hung by their hips and hurtled at speeds of 70mph on Britain’s scariest new roller coaster. Susan Orchard reports S C R E A M ! 1 Riding Drayton Manor ’s new G-force is a bit like that moment when you wake in the middle of the night in rapid free fall only to be woken by a thud on your comfy mattress. But only a bit. Because on this feeling loss 24 seconds, little comfort. 2 this revolutionary I was more than a little nervous because its claim to fame (at least according to the brochure) is the nerve-racking fact that there is nothing to secure your shoulders and just a bar across the hips. The idea is that the positive G-force will hold you in place. Sadly, all this did little to reassure me as I didn’t understand a word of it.

And you have to stand up. Why can’t these roller coaster manufacturers just let you sit down and relax? Leap the Dips LAKEMONT PARK ALTOONA, PA Claim to fame: The world’s oldest functioning roller coaster. Ups and downs: Built in 1902, this is not a natural first port for adrenaline junkies: it has a pedestrian top speed of 10mph, and a distinctly unexciting height of 48 feet. Despite such shortfalls, Leap-the-Dips has become a national monument. It was nearly scrapped in the 1980s, but was restored and reopened in 1999. Steel Dragon NAGASHIMA, JAPAN Claim to fame: The world’s longest steel roller coaster. Ups and downs: It has three colossal hills and two sections of track where the coaster train disappears into a tunnel, only to emerge when the riders have turned a little green. At 8,100 feet in length, it is, by distance, the longest roller coaster in the world, although with speeds up to 95mph, that 8,100 feet gets eaten up pretty quickly.

New England thrill-seekers can now re-arrange their entrails to their heart’s content, when Ka launches them from 1 to 128 mph in 3.5 seconds, before catapulting them 456 feet into the sky.

opgave 8Tekst 8 The 77 million curse
The 77 million curse When 47-year-old mother of six Dolores McNamara from Limerick won £77 million on the EuroMillions lottery she knew life would never be the same again. She could give up her part-time cleaning job and stop worrying how to pay for her youngest child’s school uniform… 1 But wealth has come at a price – and that’s a sobering thought for the person who will win the even bigger £85 million jackpot in the same lottery. Six months after her dream windfall, 4 Dolores and her family have been plagued by kidnap plots and death threats which have forced them to go into hiding. While decorators put the finishing touches to their £1.2 million new home in Co Clare, the McNamaras are living somewhere else, in fear for their lives. 2 Dolores’s eldest son Gary, 26, had to leave his home on the outskirts of Limerick with his girlfriend and child after the police told him of plans by a notorious Irish criminal gang to abduct them and hold them for ransom. All Dolores’s children are being protected 5 by bodyguards and their new home is being fitted with a major security system. 3 Another blow came when her mother, Betty O’Donovan, died. Instead of enjoying her wealth as Ireland’s 72nd richest person, Dolores spent hours a day at her mother’s bedside. Betty was among those who had privately expressed concerns about the problems her daughter’s huge, new-found riches could bring.

3 De Remote XT service is geschikt voor alle soorten mobiele telefoons.
4 De politie denkt dat het Remote XT service systeem niet veel zal helpen
tegen diefstal.
It’s a scream!
According to the phone industry one mobile phone
is stolen every 12 seconds in Britain and
a third of all robberies involve phone theft.
So it’s time to strike back!
A mobile phone which sends out a blood-curdling
screech if it is stolen could possibly stamp out the
soaring black market trade in handsets. Phones set
up with the anti-theft software are automatically disabled with contact numbers,
texts, images end emails removed, as soon as they are reported missing. The
high-pitched shriek, resembling those heard in horror films, can only be turned
off when the battery is removed.
The Remote XT service, which costs around £10 a month, has the backing of
the Metropolitan Police and the Mobile Industry Crime Action Forum and is
designed only for expensive smart phones. “By making mobiles unusable to
anyone but the rightful owner, the phones become worthless and we’ll see the
market for stolen handsets stamped out,” said Mark Whiteman, the managing
director of Remote XT. “Theft-proof phones spell disaster for the huge criminal
industry that has profited from mobile theft too long.”

Waarom wil Ian Pearson dat er een streepje op bierglazen komt?
Greedy pub landlords are under pressure to bring
in bigger beer glasses - so drinkers get a full pint.
Consumer watchdogs claim Britain’s 15 million
beer drinkers get more foam than ale. They are
trying to introduce new “oversized” pint glasses
capable of holding a full 20 fl oz of liquid as well as
the frothy head. This research is done by trading
standards chiefs which found that many pubs
consistently serve pints with too much foam.
Now Labour MP Ian Pearson is challenging
breweries and pub chains to introduce the pint-
marked glasses to stop the froth being counted as
part of a pint.
The new glasses – capable of holding 22 fl oz-
would have a line indicating the pint level to ensure
customers get full measures.

Welk probleem stelt de schrijfster van deze ingezonden brief aan de orde?
LETTERS AND EMAILS
Public lavatories are a sign of a civilised country (Letters and emails,
August, 4). The first wooden boards over canals appeared in the 13th century.
The Victorians transformed them into works of art and, at their best, they can
still be a beautiful convenience.
Councils think that closing loos is an easy economy. One in five has been
boarded up in the past three years! The Government’s solution is to tell the
desperate - tourists, children, the pregnant, the elderly and the drunk - to use
pubs, shopping centres and hotels. But it is embarrassing to beg and many
evidently resort to peeing in public. According to the British Cleaning Council,
street sweepers clear up four million pints of urine a year, at vast expense.
So I would say: Bring back our loos; it’s cheaper and will make our country smell
sweeter!
