That's f**ked.

Interesting you should say that though. When we were there in 2004 on our validation trip, I noticed a guy videoing the kids in the water and playing on the beach. He had no kids with him and he was on his own. I pointed him out to another father and we both starting walking over towards him to ask what he was doing. He saw us and took off - walking really fast and we left him to it. I told some passing cops and they said they would keep an eye out for him but I don't think they found him.

You might have seen the news item about it recently - the pilot taking pics to settle a debate about circumcision.

South Bank is rife with perverts!!!

Last time we were there (early 2009) they had just introduced security guards to patrol the beach and surrounding areas after a bloke was caught in the toilets showing porn to young boys!!

You can regularly see old men in speedos sat on the beach or grass banks (alone)...ahem....'adjusting' themselves!!

I was not! I contest that! I merely got too much sand in my cod piece and was trying to rub it off!
