I see the lifeboat go out far too often, especially in winter.
It really bothers me the number of rubbernecking edutainment-seeking camerawhores you see crowding around and cooing when it leaves or returns.
These guys have just left a warm living room to go out into a dangerous sea where, if they're lucky, they'll rescue someone in significant distress and, if they're unlucky, they'll haul a body in off of the rocks, and you're stood in their way taking pictures? Good one.
Grotesque story spoiler
I heard tell of a guy who assisted in a body recovery after someone fell from a cliff several weeks previously. After hauling in the bloated crumbling corpse, returning, and showering the saltwater out of their hair they headed to the pub for a free pint (as was the tradition - they do get one perk) and this one guy was complaining of still being able to smell the body. About half an hour in he blew his nose and found a tiny chunk of flesh in his tissue...
