I thought we were being good to our bodies! (Ignoring kebabs etc.) oh well, I will keep it up anyway. It tastes so nice. Has it been scientifically proven that nice equates to bad for you?

I spotted the same article, and emailed it to a few people.

 

This was Malcolm Gilbert's response:

 

It was the levels of PCBs that closed the commercial striped bass fishery in the Hudson river, New York.

 

Sport fishing was allowed but they were recommended to consume only one portion weekly.

 

Cessation of commercial fishing resulted in rapid restoration of the stocks which led to huge increases in sport fishing participation that in turn led to widespread recognition that the economic impact from a developed recreational fishery were enormous.

Well spoted in the URL that man! Damn newsagent had run out of The Beano and The Dandy - So I was forced to buy that wet ,pinko wholly jumpered, liberal rag of a paper which in turn made me start thinking that all is not right - God how I hate that!

 

Although slightly intreged as to what exactly constitutes a decent paper, please don't tell me you are an Independant reader?

 

ps: Damned if I could find Beezer either

Beeb 2 (sorry Paul, I'm also an avid Archers fan also, when I get time) did a proggy last year on fish farming where MAFF went on record, saying that you should only eat one portion of fish per week ( due to parasites and dieses). Personally, I was more suprised about the amount of time that it took for the newspapers to pick up on it.

I've got a funny feeling that spasor will be reading The Dorset Echo if he ever decides he has enough to retire on.

 

Weymouth saying: The Echo allways gets it wrong!

Thanks for the webcam links Jim - I can now at least look at the sea when I'm sat in the office!

Davey? I read the `Telegraph`, 12 sheets of bog-paper per page!!

As for the `Dorset Echo`!!! What kind of local paper tries to put tourists off with a full front page spread concerning bad weather???

As for fish eating being bad for your health. Have you seen what courgettes are grown in!! Pure sh*te, cows that is! Sun dried tomatoes, liquid manure!!

The biggest shock any `Townie` ever got, was being bitten by his first ragworm?

What's the world getting to these days ?

 

And people paying a lot mone money buying organically grown vegetables. Grown on p..s and sh.te I would imagine !

 

Soon we may have another food scare with vegetables being contamidated with whatever sh.te that was used to grow it. Something smells there.
