Getting Shirty

But what I did find up the station.... was swanky new polo shirts courtesy of Steve. They are actually very good, nice one to Steve for sorting. Blue with the HM Coastguard logo, rather than the MCA logo – not that we are a fussy bunch.

In the other room were the less exciting HM Coastguard white shirts- although these also have a logo on them.

Hopefully this might stop some of the verbal abuse we get when walking along the seafront with people thinking we are traffic wardens or policeman. It’s slightly sad that you get it, but it’s normally followed by ‘Oh sorry, we thought you were police / traffic wardens!’. Which is perhaps equally sad that people think that these people are fair game for abuse.
