120 years ago, but their bravery is not forgotten.

Moving stuff.

 

The RNLI lifeboat crews have always had, and will always have, my utmost admiration and respect.

 

As the article states:

 

Just like today's lifeboat crews, the men who drowned were all volunteers who didn't think twice about going out to help people in difficulty at sea.

[Alan Fawcett]

its a shame more people don't realise that the RNLI lads n lasses are all volunteers and they rely heavily on donaions to help keep them going.

 

Its also a shame they don't charge those they go out to rescue, especally the idiots who think "got boat can sail" then go out without any of the correct gear, the other ermergancy services charge for some call outs so why don't the RNLI?

 

Personaly i think we should be able to choose where our council tax is spent as i for one would gladly choose to give a share to the RNLI.
