Anyone got a kid-sized life jacket lying about which would fit a 10 year old your nipper's grown out of..?

Want a jacket so he can wear it with a T-shirt in the summer mate.

I have loads of chandlers up the coast but the things cost an arm and a leg.

Chris,
I used to work refurbishing ships, whilst working in Genoa the coastguard came aboard and tested the lifejackets on the liner we were refitting, an 8kg (eight) weight was attached to a jacket and thrown in the harbour. It sank! So did subsequent jackets.
Don't buy secondhand lifejackets! (Or sell the kid.)

I don't plan on falling in mate but knowing my lad he's probably going to manage it at some point. Suppose I could just feed him polystyrene for a few days before he comes out.
