Owner should have had a Tirfor :)

I remember last time I was working in the UK, early 80's, someone took a dumper onto the beach on the south coast, & got it stuck with an incoming tide. Got his mate with a Drott to come & get it out. It too got stuck. Then got a JCB to come & shift 'em all. Got stuck too, then the tide came in ... made a lovely picture in the paper.

They seem to think a Vauxhall is a Land Rover....

Later on in the article they get it right, including in this revealing snippet;

"The crew attached a buoy and anchor to the jet ski and, as the machine was stuck fast, they decided to leave it in the mud overnight. Two hours later, however, the incident took a twist when Mr Morgan attempted to drive out across the mud in his Vauxhall 4x4 to try and recover the jet ski himself - and the vehicle became stuck."

Some people urgently need an appointment with kindly Uncle Darwin.

Burnham... Severn Estuary, huge tides, very flat, very soft, very deep, very sticky mud. Not a sensible place to take any vehicle.

Strictly speaking, they are right. The vehicle is described as a "4x4 landrover" rather than a Land Rover (or Land-Rover).

Any vehicle which roves across the land could be described as a landrover. So a Vauxhall could be a landrover. But not a Land Rover.

In a million years.

Guilty as charged, m'Lud.
