The thing is that they do the displays so well now don't they, I've seen Sainsburys fish counter with genuine sand and pebles and even a bit of seaweed

BTW I bet your 'senior' moments are not as 'senior' as mine

No such adornments in supermarket here n SM's are strange, unpredictable things (are they excuse for being just barking? No offence to you as am sure you're not)

The only time I've felt sorry for a fish, is when I went down to the seafront to buy myself a dover sole one day, and as he went to cut its head off, it curled itself up, so I said "blimey, that's still alive" to which he replied "yep, you can't get fresher than that", then he cut the head off and it did make me twinge a tad, not for long, coz I love dover soles!

Going to the sea front to buy fish is so lucky, can't beat it
