I know that my reply is an AFF's but am pretty sure that most of you will have forgotten.......... cloud
In 1973/4 I was in my early teens and lived close to the Northumberland coast. A dead whale was beached on the shore line there. I garnered much interest .
My sister, brother and I along with friends when down to the beach during the early evening of day two, we decided that walking/running off the length of the whale and falling/sliding off of it was a good idea as was bouncing up and down on it.
It really was great fun.
A day or so later the RAF towed it out to sea and blew it up. That was pretty spectacular to watch as well.
I will try and find a link later.
Oh and BTW I am appalled by Subway and their decision to offer Halal meat in some of it's franchises, There are Subway's in Cornwall, I wonder if they will decide to sell only Cornish pasties in their wraps. Arse.
I don't go to Subway's here very often, anyone know if there will be notices advising customers how the meat for the rolls is slaughtered.
