Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Is there still some disagreement about what to do with Bluebird, there was some argument between the family and the people that pulled it out of the water.

I thought they'd agreed to allow the local museum to have the remnants whilst the guy that researched and found it could do the restoration. "They" being the wife, daughter et al; meanwhile his sister wanted it all left to lie: Cap'n, ship etc etc....

But it's been a while and my memory isn't what it used to be ;)

Sounds as if the dispute was still rumbling on last year though with some progress

Yes, I thought it was ongoing, just not in the news lately.

Calling a song thrush a shitty lover of honey is unwarranted and inaccurate.

People are getting confused with Adele again, I think.
