Heres one of those interesting bits of useless information, the old Scarborough lifeboat named "City of Sheffield" is now stationed in Poole harbour, I wonder what the locals think of that?

Dorsets assett I'd say....Hope it dont sink like its big Bruv.

sinking lifeboat??? geez that can't be good government promotion for its pride in safety. oh well - lets hope that there wasnt a rescue in progress when that happened

I think you'll find he's referring to HMS Sheffield that was sunk by an Exocet from the Argies.

Bit of a shame really. The original fundraising campaign for the boat was based on supporting the lifeboat in the town where many Sheffield people spend their holidays - Whitby. And now its gone to Poole?
