Recently retired so more active here now. Sold firewood, composted greenwaste for 20+ years

Sutton,

Apologies if my remark sounded a bit condesending, it was not intended too.

That "codwood" thread was a real gem mind, only bettered by the "how to move a dead Horse" thread on the farming forum, which had me, and others in hysterics.

The Link might work?

The difference is that some of the UK fishing quota was sold by brokers on the open market. I think the UK is the only EU country to offer their quota for sale. You can’t complain about Dutch, French and Spanish trawlers working our waters when they have paid for the right to do so surely?

I would like to think that the UK leaving the EU should call a halt to discard from British boats at least.

No complaints. Just interested how fishing has some curious parallels with woods.

Our daughter does wholesale fish. Obviously restaurants, airlines & cruiseships been shut but the takeaways are still larging it nicely with fish in the SE. Have been for months.

Most of us eat fish regularly. We're an island. Approx 180,000 are employed directly yet v few in the UK own quotas (5 people own 29%).

V little news on brexit negotiations over fishing rights. Closed doors policy - not surprisingly. Wondering if UK waters might become a soveriegn/commons partnership or whether it will revert back to the favoured few at the top or something else?
