  Oh dear! arresting fishermen from Boulogne is not going to do much for the old Entante Cordiale. There is a healthy and large fishing fleet in Boulogne and a busy market for fish. The French eat a lot more of it.. particularly popular are those Moules Mariner. Everyone is eating those en bulk. Not quite my cup of tea but what would I know!! But generally the fish market seems much bigger over there so perhaps fishermen are a tad more desperate to get their catch and are therefore tempted to break the rules. Somebody reported something in this case I suspect, as HMS Severn was prowling about for a couple of days on the lookout.
  
  Yes the fishing boats are near identical and bigger than they look at first glance. Compare the latest one with the cars in Eds picture and you get the drift.
  
  Yes always a bit gutting, no pun intended following all that talk of fish, to hear of cuts to the Coastguard services. Its perilous enough on the sea as it is without leaving those out there unprotected.
