That our Lord and Webmaster posts about shifting his time-expired flares on TOP but chooses not to tap into the collective knowledge and experience that is gathered here.
What does that say of his opinion of our opinions?

That he knows us too well?

I added to that thread there too!
But I still wonder about letting them off far from the sea. What's wrong with that?

.
Some of these things were ten years or more out of date when we bought the boat ten years ago.

I don't want to play with them. And of course I am not far from the sea.

I felt rejected and cried all day and night. I still sob with a heaving chest of misery. I think I will be melancholic for a month now. I might even vote No in protest and burn some tyres.

Hurrah!

As I have said before I often think of webmaster Nick as one of the Leading Villagers when the villagers revolt like they do in those Hammer films, and righteously march upon the castle where the nefarious Claysenstein is cackling and trying to bring his crew back to life. Obviously, Nick should keep his OOD flares ready for the final reel where he and his fellow villagers break down the drawbridge in protest against, well , whatever...whilst Claysie escapes yet again in an MPV heading south at speed...

Flares are a distress signal. Sending a distress signal when you are not in distress is a criminal offence. Regardless of how far from the sea you are. In Scotland that's never very far.
Flare disposal is easy. Give them to the people you but new ones from. If they refuse then take your money to someone who will take them.

Some chandlers - not all - will take time expired flares if you bought from them, but none will take old TEPs of unknown origin. Threatening to buy your Coastal Flare Pack from somewhere else is not going to make any difference.
