St.Abbs lifeboat station and stolen fish boxes

Just 12 months after the RNLI closed its base in the Berwickshire fishing village, a new vessel called the Thomas Tunnock was officially launched yesterday.

Mr Tunnock initially donated £10,000 to the appeal for an independent lifeboat station but following a thank you call from the campaigners he offered to pay a further £250,000.

Yes, I think St.Abbs has fought the battle and won. It's a treacherous coast round here.

Good information and photo Amelia! Is that Mr Tunnock from the delicious tea cake company? I heard him on the radio with Jeremy Vine a while ago. An interesting and generous man. YS. Cheers, Rosa.

Yes it's the biscuit and cake man, Rosa. It's great to know that there are still some philanthropists around. The lifeboat is a necessity in this area - the coast is rocky and treacherous.
Cheers, Amelia
