What a plonker he is, what did he expect by the sea. the sights and smells are all part of the holiday experience.
Where did he think the fish came from?

DejaVu all over again. Great minds run in the same channels.
I'm glad he didn't come across Happy Feet
LOL @ Colin!!
And if he really wants a disgusting smell, he should pay a visit to his local fishmarket...
I love the smell at the fishmarket. I can be found hovering around the fish counter at the supermarket. I suppose it reminds me of my childhood by the sea.

That evokes all sorts of weird images
Funny you should say that............

He and so many like him are born and bred in Cities. Everything comes
ready prepared and packed in the Supermarket, they have very little idea of the realities of life. Some city dwellers buy a sweet little cottage in the country right by the VILLAGE CHURCH (OH---"the bells") NEXT TO A DAIRY FARM (oh "the smells") Neighbours keep chickens (OH---" the cockerel crows at dawn") It is all due to ignorance I think. I used to have a smallholding with a cow, a pig, a goat, chickens and rabbits although I was born in London I was lucky enough to know a bit about country ways and soon learned about tides and currents at the seaside, where life can be dangerous if you don't.

Hi, nice to see you back.
I live fairly close to a small airport which has been in use since WW2. People buy houses here and then complain about the planes.......

To amend a saying we had in the RAF -
If they can't take a joke they should not have moved (or joined or taken the job - whichever applies)
A Brazilian man who was caught at Miami airport trying to smuggle seven baby pythons and three baby tortoises concealed in his underwear and pockets was fined $400 by a U.S. judge on Wednesday.
Simon Turola Borges, 30, who had been detained since August 25, pled guilty to smuggling and was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Patricia A. Seitz to time served, two years of supervised release, and a $400 fine. He was ordered to be deported.
Prosecutors said Borges initially denied having anything hidden in his pants when Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers at the airport pulled him aside for a further search after he went through a body scanner while preparing to board a flight to Brazil last month.
"Subsequently, he was asked to empty his cargo pants pockets, and he removed two hatchling pythons tightly wrapped in nylon pantyhose," prosecutors said in a statement.
When he was asked to remove any foreign objects from his groin area "Borges pulled his underwear away from his body and removed two nylon pantyhose containing numerous snakes and tortoises," the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida added in the statement.
The seized live animals, all hatchlings just weeks old, consisted of three Ball Pythons, three Carpet Pythons, one Children's Python, one Indian Star Tortoise and two Leopard Tortoises, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said.
All of the creatures are protected under the CITES convention that restricts trade in animal species without special permits.
The judge ordered that the fine should go to the Miami Science Museum to help protect reptile species.
