lol volty yes a bit like a goldfish bowl...nice though that you kept all your fishing tackle..i used to fish right up the north of scotland when i spent a couple of years there..little fishing village called helmsdale..only did salmon and trout fishing..it was free for residents on the first mile of the river brora...

WHAT they SELL LIFEBOATS ?

The lifeboats are the only charity we allow in the pub on a permanent basis, we average £200 per month from the box on the bar.
They have a shop here in Brighton marina, and a couple of years ago I and 12 other pub regulars had a fantastic day out on one of their new boats and we did a mock rescue, I had the pleasure of steering the boat all the way from Beachy Head back to Brighton.
Iwill post some photos later on this thread.

Morning John, that sounds great. Full marks on your charity choice and it's nice to see more being done inland these days. They always do well at the Kings heath show and The Sheldon country fair they sometimes bring an inflatable boat to the latter.

As promised photos of my day out on the Newhaven lifeboat.
Some of these pictures were taken through glass covered in seaspray, as we were not allowed on deck during certain parts of the operation, hence the poor quality.
