Come on man!!! Dont you have something similar in Oz? Being part of the commonwealth and all. Here in the UK, this small island, founded on a proud tradition of seamanship, worshipping the seas for the riches they have bought us blah blah blah rely upon a CHARITY ORGANISATION called the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. If you ever find yourself being plucked from the seas around our Island it will be largely thanks to little old ladies, and people like me, shaking cans and organising events that has saved your life. It sucks. Every other country in the world uses state funded organisations to safeguard the lives at sea. Not in the UK!!! HOwever, it is an excellent service, and I for one wouldnt put out to sea without knowing those guys were there to bail me out if I mess up. It has even been said that the reason it is an excellent service, is BECAUSE it is free of the restraints of government funding!!
I wish the squid comp was this weekend coming. They turned up today!!
