I do hope he feels guilty enough to make a large contribution to the Mountain Rescue group, living in the Lakes we hear equally silly stories, OH used to be on a rescue team though not anymore most of the call outs turn out to be false alarms ! but that hits our pockets not the so called victim !

I am glad to see that there are still a few people around who care about others. I can imagine what it is like being on standby for an emergency call. I spent several years in the 1950's in the Civil defence Corps, part of that time in the No 1 rescue team of our Division. No 1 team was on 24hr standby 7days a week. We had to tell HQ wherever we went so that if we were called they could pick us up with a van and take us to HQ where 8 of us manned the Rescue Wagon. Although the team were not involved, our driver was involved in the East Coast Floods in 1953. Repeatedly driving approx. 130 miles round trip (Cambridge to Norwich and back, day and night) with relief clothing and supplies. It was three days of hell for him (only eating and sleeping while they were loading and unloading the lorry). The police were on all main road junctions, giving him a clear run. Driver's hours were ignored in that situation.
