#####in some recent heavy seas of shields a strange mass of small octupus has been washed up .....i have swam daily almost in my youth in that part of the sea and never seen an octopus there ...i have fished for crab and if octopus were there feel sure there was never one seen ..now i might be wrong and surely someone else may correct me but i never saw one of them in all my life and still very frequent visits to shields..always felt they were warmer water creatures .......there was dozens of them perhaps 9 or 10 inches in diameter ....never liked the winter heavy seas in my boyhood as sea coal was washed up on the beaches and we we given a sack to fill ...it is cold wet work ...and a sack of wet coal is almost impossible to move without getting even wetter and colder and blacker ...a big boon was a bike and sling you sack over the crossbar ...happy days

so the nasty nippy blue things are conservative , and the thing that wraps itself around you and squeezes you dry is labour , all you have to do now is find a beach full of sea snakes and a beach of jelly fish and it will be politically balanced

Were they octopus or were they young squid Cappy ???, i have been fishing for cod around the Island by line, and many times found squid taking the bait, squid are also good bait. I saw the report on the news, millions of star fish and lobsters being washed up, no mention of octopus on the report i saw, kt

###well keith that is probably the true answer ...young squid.....question solved ..but must say in many fishing forays round the east coast never caught a squid ...presume they do like warmer water just dont know about them .....thought as a boy fishing with a cod head for crab would have caught squid if they had been there....must say like lobsters ....took the beloved to paris once .....across the road was a good restaurant with the live lobsters ,,,,pick yer own ......ate lunch and dinner in there for five days ......was walking sideways on the way back home ....cappy

Rob the sea snakes are there, they reside in Whitehall I am informed and go by the name of politicians.
