Now that's Magic!

At training last week Nick commented that he'd heard on the radio that Paul Daniels would be selling his wigs on E-bay. Cue general discussion on Paul Daniels, Debbie McGee, naff magicians, etc.

However, some of the guys went quiet, and looking around the station I could see why; glare of the lights, reflections, need I say more? I think somebody may have even put a bid in; I wonder who'll turn up in it at kit night?

Then we all went quiet when we realised Rid wasn't old enough to remember who Paul Daniels even is.

So what's this got to do with the Coastguard? Well, not a lot, but you'll like it.

Incredibly he's 72 now. Paul Daniels, not Rid.
