I remember the BBC made a tv version of "Singing the Fishing" in the early/mid 70s. They taleked about the problems of depleting the stocks by over fishing (even then!), and McColl added an extra epilogue verse. I can't remember it all, but it went soemthing like "If we continue to reap what we do not sow/There be no more shoals of herring". Any longer and better memories out there?
