[Mr Blue Sky]

Such sad news. Is there a reason why the majority of canals in Amsterdam don't have barriers? I was amazed at how easy it would be to fall in even if sober.

 

[lalsger]

Such sad news. Is there a reason why the majority of canals in Amsterdam don't have barriers? I was amazed at how easy it would be to fall in even if sober.

I was thinking that when we were over in November , slippy as fcuk and loads of people wandering about really close to the canals in the dark. Really sad for the boy and his family.
