At last this government does something worth doing.

I remember seeing this a long time ago on a Countryfile report, about blinking time

To dive or not to dive - that's not even an option.

I know this will upset a few fishermen but there is so little there to catch they are better off taking us diving instead like many have chosen to do voluntarily already, and it's a far nicer way to make a living. I have no problem with fishers, it's the by catch that p*sses me off.

Thumbs up Nice to read some good news...
After reading Fiona's post about the atrocity that is occuring in Sharm...

Why do these things have to take so bloody long before they happen?

Excellent news to read though.....
