RNLI save child drifting out to sea - parents send bill for lilo

"There was an off-shore wind and the parents immediately experienced their child waving goodbye as the lilo went further and further out."

Those parents are beyond help, should we help the child out and give her a better chance by giving her a new Mam and dad ?

should've just put the parents on the lilo and left....

abuse of the emergency services should result in jail time. Sending a bill for a £7 lilo would fall under that bracket for me. Get them jailed.

No, make them do £7K worth of community service

Sounds like a ruse to drum up publicity for RNLI.

No one can be that stupid.

What a strange turn of phrase that is

Seems like a fair deal asking them to pay their bill mind.

Old story going by the comments.

Also, whoever wrote it needs a f***ing English lesson.

Oh aye chief, not calling it out as an old article. Just looks like whoever wrote it (badly) has dredged up an old story.

At the bottom it says its an old story from the 80s

Imagine being a journalist and having to print a clarification (from the only organisation that you quoted in your article) saying your story is over 30 years old and not even factually accurate.
