Saddest thing was the beach. I used to collect a bucket of mussels and whelks every day for the next days food. When we revisited I could find one of either on any rock for hundreds of yards along the beach. That has to be a good thing no?, no idea why that is? I don't eat fish of any kind!. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my honeymoon on my first marriage we had a caravan on one of the Scottish lochs. I went out and picked a pail of mussels and ate them all. I spent the rest of my honeymoon in bed extremely sick with food poisoning. I went back a few years later and there was a sign up. Do not pick mussels from here they are radioactive. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many buckets when I was a kid led me to the same result. I don't eat fish of any kind either. I'd no choice back then. With my granda spending every ha'penny in the pub or bookies it was eat shellfish or starve. I got handed sixpence each morning and went to Port Setons open air swimming pool. I was in there from 9am until 6pm rain or shine. One morning I got hoovered up along with the borstal boys who were allowed to use it in the mornings before it opened to the public. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, the pond hall, remember it well, I am from Tranent and we used to walk down often, it no longer exists. We must have had great summers back then to use an outdoor pool The Borstal boys, from St Josephs, they were mostly from the west. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
