The only paid member of the crew is the engineer/mechanic (for obvious reasons it is full time job) The rest are volunteers. I remember the landlord of a pub in Fleetwood running out the door to man the lifeboat one lunchtime, leaving both the taps and cash open; nobody stole anything, just paid and pumped their own beer till his wife took over. |
