I remember that summer, I was working in a sea front pub and people kept coming in and ordering lemonade and orange squashes, we run out several times. One day a 6ft+ Scottish bloke walked in and asked for twoo sqcaaashes jimmy. I said pardon and he said again twoo sqcaashes Jimmy. So I gave him two orange squashes with straws and an umbrella and he said "are you taking the ****" and threatened to fill me in, he was asking for two scotches apparently.... whoopsy daisy....
I looked at two rivers yesterday and they were fine but they have sluice gates that hold the water in. I was more interested in the creek the other side which was at low tide and just a small trickle of water, it fills up twice a day to 10/15ft of water. I have yet to catch a fish in it but I did lose one last time I went; probably an eel- but i will give it a few more goes. The rivers looked very green, algae bloom, we call it May water and it appears in the sea as well which seems to put fish right off especially when it dies and smells like rotten eggs.
Plenty of rain yesterday so the gardens revived thankfully.
