#tbt2022 when many Cornish inshore fishermen were asking UK 🇬🇧 fishery managers to implement management measures to protect the #crawfish fishery from over exploitation and probable collapse. Too little too late. The views of the many sacrificed to appease the few #gutted

The ship on which I met Margaret in 1973. We married in 1974! I’m so glad that “Uganda” was not bombed by the Argentine Air Force, but she met her end ignominiously anyway!
