The Secret Of Andy Burnham’s Shiny Hair
THE CROYDONIAN looks at all things fishy in the Government:
Mr. Peter Ainsworth: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how much fish was procured by his Department and at what cost in each of the last five years, broken down by species; and what amount and value of such fish met the Marine Stewardship Council standard in each such year, broken down by species. [217901]
Margaret Hodge: The Department holds the information set out relating to fish purchased in financial year 2007-08. Information is not available for previous years. Source
Insert fish puns here…

It’s those salmon fillets that let them down; just stick to smoked salmon and those compromising failures in Marine Stewardship will be a thing of the past.
Of course, then they’ll be filleted as elitist pigs but we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it…

Good Cod. Have they nothing else to do? Was this question just some prawn in a higher game being played? One that could have spawned further detailed investigation leading to an almighty spat with the DCMS with the winners dancing a conger? Was it referred to the other plaice - the Lords?
They should set up a judicial herring to see if this is a good way to use tax payers money. They must waste a few squid on this sort of nonsense.
What a load of pollock.

did you mean to say “an almighty sprat” there Melanie…?

Dairy, a spat is an oyster or something similar…

Quite right Melanie, a baby oyster indeed! - not many people know that.
But then, not that many of us are married to ex-oyster fishermen…….
