  1. beautiful dog how did gib get it to wear spectacles ? all the best Gib Derek.
  2. it won't mess up fish stocks THEY ALREADY ARE our home fishing fleet has long gone and i don't remember it as large or intrusive as our combined european partners are we i agree bear some responsibility for the present situation but a holiday in a fishing town/harbour/village and you won't see many or any offshore boats. i am 82 and 60 yrs ago as crew fished out of Coverack, NOT ANY MORE i don't even know the boat owners. the harbour is now filled with small pleasure craft the fishing community is no more. the social club on the harbour wall gone. Lifeboat gone (no crew) Their fishing grounds off the Lizard and into the channel are gone and they weren't fished out by locals. our non local fishermen friends haven't just destroyed the grounds they have decimated the local population. I went down to mudeford quay the other day and only knew 3 fishermen. i remember the quay with local boats tied up for most of its length. I was the lifeboat cox/helm from 1970 to1985 and only met 2 old crew i knew. I do really wish you & all who go to sea well. Derek
