Some of the stuff we find on the tideline is frightening, em and when I reported some nasty chemicals in drums the council couldn't handle them as there wasn't a proper path to the beach. We no longer take home shellfish for tea.
seadogg, i can't eat shellfish any more, having been poisoned by some once. I was told, though no idea if it's true, that if you do get food poisoning from shellfish, it takes 7 years to get the stuff out your system
