Whatever the circumstances, it is yet another job well done for our wonderful RNLI. Their services are always a credit to us all
RNLI, the best water taxi service in Britain from France to the UK…
Reason they went down there “might be” to have a drugy boozy bonfire like Binstead beach is subjected to.
And your point is leave the kids alone
Same druggy boozy bonfires on Shanklin beach. I have seen syringes down there too so keep the dog away from that patch.
You’re all on crack. It’s called exploring and having fun as a kid
Please don’t breed…..
Wasn’t anything to do with drugs as me and my mate were walking along the cliff path and went down onto the beach no point commenting on something when you weren’t there mate
Taken to St Marys to get checked over? For a bit of mud? Unreal.
Given the conditions it may have been to check for exposure/hypothermia.
And being in cold mud for any length of time is okay, is it? The temperature at 20:00 on Wednesday was 6 degrees and would have felt much colder on the shore. Always worth getting checked for hypothermia, which is a silent killer.
Probably took it to St Mary’s for a free bath. Costs a fortune filling the tub these days.
Any more “muddy teens” getting picked up by them from the channel?
No excuses foe getting cur off by the tide,you read a tide timetable first !!!
You may have identified the problem: how many people can – or can be bothered to – read these days?
These two identical events can’t be co-incidence. Perhaps there is word on the street of a drugs shipment caught in the rocks?
Dear me Helen, have you been starting rumours again? If it is drug related, maybe leave them in the mud next time.

It’s a shame the owner David Barrett it’s a rude obnoxious old fart! Also worth noting he got handed his money from his family, the cowboy builders Barrets!!
Yes, it’s called privilege and entitlement. Rife in the moneyed classes.
I work at Haven Hall and the Barrett family are a pleasure to work for. Far from the ‘whip handler’ as Karen described them as. They are also very hands on with the hotel and the guests, thus enhancing its bespokeness. Just because they know what they want from their business, doesn’t conform to being obnoxious/rude. It shows diligence and this also achieved in prior industry (since retired from).
Sounds more like a spot of green eyed monsterism from yourself. Book a suite, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
The accolade goes to the staff who run it. Without them the hotel wouldn’t be getting the votes. The owner has nothing to do with the running of it! So big congratulations to all the staff !!!!!!
Does that apply in reverse? If a hotel is complete rubbish, then that is the fault of the staff?
What a silly comment. Good management is a great skill and the basis of any successful business or organisation.
It’s staff who manage it. The owner is just the whip handler. See also ‘East India Company’ etc.
there used to be a beautiful pine tree growing next to the cliff path until that’s old sod had it cut down he said it ruined the view from his Hotel he must know people in the council because they hate trees as well
