Nice to see the Coastguard getting a mention there as well :clap:

All to often we are the "forgotten" 999 service, and people often get mixed up between us and the Lifeboats, as well as there being confusion about what the Full time Coastguards do as opposed to the Coastguard Rescue Service who are all basically volunteers.

If anyone wants clarifaction on who does what then you only have to ask :D

Being a complete coward as far as water is concerned, any volunteer for that kind of work gets my full thanks. I sure as hell wouldn't do it, let alone for free! Got to be mad! Mind you saying that, most of the LB and CG chaps I knew in Norfolk were slightly touched. Good bods though, and very handy to have behind you when in a pub fight when you are the only cop there to deal with it.
All were glad to 'assist the local Constable in the execution of his duty' and unleashed upon the visiting yobs! Hee hee hee! Much fun was had, except by the yoblets that got 'arrested'. Didn't help them that one of the the local magistrates had connections to the Lifeboat!

I was talking to a ambulance paramedic friend, she was telling me the stories about attacks and drunks!!!

I appreciate them much more now!!
Gale is 50 years old and attacked on a regular basis, one job to a drunk ended with her colleague putting stitches in HER head!!!

Keep up the good work everyone!
