A good deal this but you'll need to take your own salt, vinegar and air fryer.

On that part of the coast I'd be more worried about the release of brown sauce especially after the recent heavy rain.

This is my local beach. On 31st Dec I went kayaking along it and stopped off to make brew and watch the seals watching me. It was paradise.

Over the last two weeks it’s become a landfill site.

Absolutely heartbreaking

^^ Yeah, joking aside I've been following the reports on the Beeb. Whilst it's great that there are many volunteers willing to do their best to try and pick up the grot, a lot of the non degradable stuff is going to be there 'forever' effectively as microplastics. I wonder how much has already been consumed by wild life? A lot at a guess.

They'll go nicely with this lot, and they've 'matured' a bit more now:
