I HAVE seen recent tributes, and indeed past memorials placed near to Oxford waterways where a young person has died in the waters.

I was in Hinksey Park on Monday. A group of teenagers were jumping into the lake from the footbridge. I pointed out that there was some danger and swimming was not permitted.

Needless to say I was told to go away (I think that what they meant), and my parentage was questioned.
