I wonder how the general public would react if they were to be shown the contents of the ' Dead Sock ' in the cages and were subject to the aroma of decomposed fish flesh..

What is ''the 'Dead Sock'", ghilliejohn? I've not heard that expression before.

No doubt I've smelled it, though .....

The cages are square in design towards the bottom of the net the four sides slope inward toward the middle of the net...There there is an opening to which is attached a 'sock' of netting..
Dead fish sink to the bottom of the cage and roll down the sloping sides into the 'sock' where the decomposing / carcasses are retained..
The bottom of the net [on one side of the cage ] is winched up and the dead scooped from the 'sock' with a net.

I'm not easily scared, Brian. I'm sure he read this too, didn't you John?

What terrifies me though is the related story on the same page :

BBC News - Scottish salmon firm profits sink

This snowball is turning into an avalanche. As I predicted in another thread.

You don't seem a guy to be easily scared either, John

I think Brian meant John Paul (GFL), but I think he's too busy arranging Scottish independence.

Anyway, Don Staniford is heading your way (deported from Canada). Looks like spring is going to be hot in the Highlands.
