The Birmingham Navy Strikes Back

I feel a bit aggrieved as a qualified sailor (not that I can remember which qualification I have) that inexperienced seafarers are called the "Birmingham Navy".

I must admit that I did spend some summers with my family and various coastal locations with a boat.

I feel there is a case for experienced seafarers living in Birmingham to challenge the singling out of Birmingham as a city which puts additional demands upon the RNLI.

Birmingham is a long way from the sea, but we do have our own sea cadets.

You know, I suppose, that a Birmingham screwdriver means a hammer?
