For some reason todays post has decided to insert itself with last weeks post.
This used to happen on the original blog some posts would randomly insert themselves at an earlier date, or when amending them some would stay on the date originally posted others would appear as we posts.
There used to be a site called Grumpy's Golden Oldies, when I first found the site there would be several downloads a week of obscure tracks, the tracks were recorded at 192kbs, and filed as Artist name the Track Tile, I adopted the format for my files, now I save the files at 320kbs, later Grumpy's Golden oldies went over to taking requests, I would check the 'wants' regularly, one Boot sale that I had brought a number of records from, included a Procol Harum record on checking the wants list that morning some one had requested the Procol Harum record I had just purchased, I started the blog not long before the demise of Grumpy's Golden Oldies, the end of Grumpy's Golden Oldies came when he said he had a trapped nerve and the site would not have any uploads for about a month, I thought the site would not return, my wife had a trapped nerve and despite many treatments she suffered with it for years, one day she was in Epsom and slipped on an escalator after the jolt the trapped nerve was released, my thoughts about Grumpy's site were unfortunately true and the site closed.
For a change it was a fine day with virtually no wind, before we had got out of Brighton Marina I was putting on the factor 30, the destination was the Kingmere Rocks off Littlehampton, the area is designated a Marine Conservation Area, you are allowed to take four Black Bream there is a minimum size limit and surprisingly a maximum size limit, I do not take Black Bream home my allowance was either given away or more likely returned, the Black Bream were coming in at a constant rate, hen the person fishing next to me caught a small Smothhoud the first of the season caught on the boat, later I was into a fish and it did not behave like a Black Bream on getting it to the surface it was a Smoothhound, it turned out to be the best Smoothhound of the day, as it was 'in pup' it was returned straight away without being photographed, other fish caught were Mackerel, (small) Conger eels, Dogfish, Pouting and Ballan Wrass, in all a good days fishing.
I did not take any photos of the fish I caught as I accidently left both my phone and camera in the car, some photos were taken by the skipper, these have not yet appeared on the boats webpage, this is a Black Bream of similar to the ones I caught.
At each Boot Sale there are often odd/strange items, I thought that at the last Boot Sale there were no strange/unusual items, the rules of the Boot Sales say you can not sell animals, firearms, food & drink, there are always some small amounts of food & drink on some stalls, there are some food vendors there these are arranged by the event organisers, however as I was going past one stall there were some tins glancing at the label, it said Mackerel and Potatoes, I thought that is a strange combination and I had never seen the tins on sale, I should have brought one or examined/photographed the tin. I can find no reference for tinned Mackerel & Potatoes so have no information on where or when they were produced.

A 1969 release, the Fut were Maurice Gibb, Steve Groves, Steve Kipner and Billy Lawrie (the brother of singer Lulu and Gibb's brother-in-law), Steve Groves and Steve Kipner were members of the group Tin Tin.
One of the cars I go past every day as I take Biscuit for her walk has Fut as part of its number plate, I always think of this record when I see that car.
