Was over Shoreham just now and some of the beer garden drinkers thought it would be fun to jump in to the river from the bridge. Several went in amid lots of shouting and screaming. The Rozzers were quickly on the scene but the dunkees had gone back in to The Bridge. The first two cops looked really worried and were scanning the water with torches as they jogged over the bridge. On my way back along the coast road to Worthing there were 3 more cop cars with the blues on heading past me to Shoreham.

I hope no one bought it.

Not totally stupid. High tide: http://easytide.ukho.gov.uk/EASYTIDE/EasyTide/ShowPrediction.aspx?PortID=0081&PredictionLength=7

Tide coming in. Best to look upstream at first.

That was in their favour, however, there are concrete pontoons under the water which almost halves the depth in places, not good if you get it wrong and push your knee cap through your Femur.
