that is shocking, hope she is alright, the weather was really bad before too, maybe slippery decking caused it.

Report on 5 live said she had fallen from top deck and was washed under the jetty before being rescued by a ferry worker.

Chapo to the crew member who dived in. I don't think that was in his job description.

The news reports described the water as "freezing" and "icy".

Cold, yes. Freezing and icy, no.

No need, I'm a wild swimmer. You'll find me in the water at Leasowe up to the end of October because its around 12 degrees at the moment.

I love people who make comments like yours and make themselves look daft!
