Thread Name: BS: The case of the missing sturgeon
Subject: BS: The case of the missing sturgeon
Story in the paper today of a fisherman who caught a sturgeon, followed all the procedure of advising the Crown Office and was advised to 'Dispose of it as he thought fit'.
Part way through the auction at Plymouth, in came the cops to arrest everyone in sight. It is apparently an offence to sell a sturgeon.
Unfortunately, no-one seems to have told the Queen!
However, to add to the fun, when they came to take the fish as evidence, it had disappeared! Oops.
They are now threatening action against every one in sight.
I am off to Cornwall in the morning, but if Aine would like to take this one on as a Song Challenge, the story was in the Daily Mail.
