Coastguard callout

Got told a funny story yesterday from one of the lads which I thought was a wind-up but I'm assured its accurate!

I don't know how I didn't hear about this! But, apparently a few weeks ago a callout was attended to by the coastguard at Seaton Carew beach after reports of a possible explosive device found near the public toilets.

Fortunately everything was alright and the device turned out to be this;
