Not me. Not at the prices the Kangaroo was charging. They're thieves I tell you.

Re: If you go down to the beach today your in for a big surprise
some great reply's here. I love a comedy thread.
liked the comment about the woman in cleveland who caught the oarfish "weighed 13kg less than the fish"
In other words "the fat cow shopped up this never seen before scientific wonder and bunged it in her freezer for a snack"

Dang great big floaty buggas that followed you for miles.
There was a right 'ol campaign going in many parts of Cornwall that I think started in Newquay...... Surfers Against Sewage ......gave a whole new meaning to the SAS.
Thing is the locals wouldn't have minded cept Cornwall has such a big holiday trade that you didn't know what nationality turd was following you
I guess better analysis of said floaties may have given a clue but not many people willing to do that.

The weirdest thing was, it wasn't even sunny.

As I've found though - tide and wind going the wrong way and you get some unexpected turdy friends for company on the beach. I've seen turds, nappies, sanitary towels, condoms - you name it. I was happy to take the risk for the sake of getting a wave, but I never did let my son play in there. Just one of the many reasons I'm looking forward to moving to Oz.

It's such a big country that I bet they got some secret dumping ground in the desert somewhere

Let's start with North Head, Malabar and Bondi in Sydney.....
Luggage Point in Brisbane...
A sandy beach in Kent (stop larfing!) complete with life savers, always had that smell of fresh floaters.
We decided we didnt need a swim.
