Subject: RE: Spare a thought for Boscastle, Cornwall
A little humour from out of the deluge.

Friend of a friend is in Boscastle on a surfing holiday. His car is at the bottom of the harbour and he lost his surfboard.

A phone message to the mutual friend said 'the surfboard hit about 25 mph on first decent wave all week and it's going the wrong bloody way!' He was more upset about the board than he was the car... it was a wreck and he'll get more from the insurance than he would selling it, still less than the cost of replacing the surfboard!

I too, would prefer to see money raised go to a more general use, Graham himself was the first to go and help others. Nice to see the Duke of Cornwall putting his hand in his pocket.
