BLUEMOMENT

Quite a long time ago, in another life, I was wearing a suit and tie and enjoying the evening sunshine as I strolled around the fish dock at one of our finest ports, admiring that harbour's fine vessels. I did get some funny looks, and was careful to ensure that I had a clear exit strategy should anyone's unwarranted suspicions be aroused. I should point out that my connections with the harbour were purely recreational and that I'd been in town on business completely unconnected with fishing or maritime matters.

I see from today's Herald that my caution may have been justified. £3m sounds like quite a lot of fish.
