Howler in RNLI magazine

[claymore]

Towards the back it shows some daft bozo diving into a river to execute a river rescue or some daft nonsense.
When I did my RLSS training we were taught Wade Row Reach Throw. Same applied when I did my BCU Coaching Awards. You just don't dive into a river to carry out a rescue as you have no idea how deep it is nor whether there are any hard bits waiting to cave in your cranium.
Really do think the RNLI need to get a grip on this one.

not the only howler ... they've gone & done a write-up on Fleetwood and how donations are flooding in to the local station ... !!

Erratum

We apologise that in the last edition of News of the Crews, we stated that "donations have flooded in to our Fleetwood branch."

It should have read "a donation has flooded in..."

Thank you Mrs Trellis of North Wales.

In the meantime, the Fleetwood branch is eargerly awaiting the annual visit of Mr John 'Claymore' McFlurry – a local philanthropissed, well-known for his work with fallen women – who traditionally presents the crew with a ten shilling note, and instructions to treat themselves and their good ladies to a grand night out

Re: Erratum

Actually - you should read the paragraph they did on Morecambe where it is described in glowing terms.
The last I heard Morecambe had a suicide pact with Grimsby.

Do you think the 10/- a tad overgenerous - I could always pull it back by a florin if so?

AND ANOTHER THING. The bit in the fleetwood write up about one Stephen Musgrave getting some kind of inscription on Vellum - none other than me old mate Muzzy of "Alone in Carsaig Bay wioot a paddle fame"
