A friend has WhasApped me. His daughter is doing some sort of project on the fall of the Berlin Wall. He can’t find his photos of our Interrailing antics - do I have any?

So I’ve been dutifully scanning them all in. It was only when this one came up full-screen on the PC that I realised that there is an itty bitty Guy leaning against the wall trying to look nonchalent :laughing:

I love this type of photograph - always make you wonder what the story behind it is.

It’s Skinningrove, you really don’t want to follow that story up.

I took the bait and looked up the Wiki entry on Skinningrove
Oarfish
On 17 February 2003, a rarely seen oarfish was caught by angler Val Fletcher, using a fishing rod baited with squid.[3] The fish was 11 ft 4 in (3.3 m) long and weighed 140 lb (63.5 kg). Graham Hill, the science officer at the Deep, an aquarium in Hull, said that he had never heard of another oarfish being caught off the coast of Britain. The Natural History Museum in London said that it would have been interested in preserving the fish in its permanent collection; however the fish had been ‘cut up into steaks’ before any scientists could examine it.
