In their own words 10
, We’ve got to get over this idea that wildlife from the ocean is essential for our food security. What we now are beginning to understand is the high cost of eating fish.
Nothing like a cuppa after an oggy-boggy that finished up better than a slap in the face with a wet kipper.
It's just hard, all right, because I'm a little fish in a big pond. A really big pond. The ocean.
