I should be home now ... it's not fair

Mind you this didn't sound good :

By Wednesday the rescue figure had swelled - particularly after 30 bathers ignored RNLI warnings of strong rip current at Constantine Beach, North Cornwall. The spring tide whipped up strong currents and, a number of times, lifeguards asked bathers to move closer to the shore. Finally, the beach was closed until conditions were deemed safe.

Mr Broad said: "What people fail to realise is you can be standing on a sand bar up to your waist and feel quite safe. Take five steps and you tumble into a deep gully. If there's a rip current you will be dragged away."

:O

You obviously didn't read about Perranporth - 65 rescued and another 15 at Porthtowan!!

Apparently the team from Seaside Resuce were there filming at the time so will be in the next series.

PS Apologies for CBBC link only coverage I could find!

PPS Thats a laugh in the last paragraph "the lifeguards at Perranporth couldn't remember a rip happening there before!!!" Who are they trying to kid, one of the most dangerous beaches in Cornwall!! It single handily keeps Seaside Rescue in footage!
