We heard on the news yesterday that there had been a fight at the chip shop - apparently, some fish got battered. Being a detective, I wanted to investigate this incident further. I found it to be codswallop. But then, as Chubby pointed out to me, saying "codswallop" was not nice and may lead to more cod being battered. This led me to thinking about our CALF campaign. It's not just the fluffy-hair brigade that ludicrous falsehoods affect. Oh no! Indeed our scaled friends and others that live in the water get a raw deal (especially sushi). Some humans say "you old trout" - this is silly as trout never really get much older than 4 or so years. We've also heard humans say "fish wife," which is not a nice thing to say to anybody and I'm sure that happily married fish are not pleased when they hear it! So I sent Simon and the Monkey off to spread the CALF message to our friends in the sea. Simon came back with some photos:
On the way they met some cows (and calves!) and told them about our campaign. When they got to the sea they spoke to the fish.
They were really happy when they came back - seems like they had a whale of a time! They even got some milk from the cows and a turtle-neck jumper from the turtles!
You may be wondering why I didn't go with them. Well, Sniff of the Yard (the dog next door) hired me (again) to sort out his sausage tree. Its all sorted now. We even had time to jam together afterwards (Nora, before you get excited, this does not mean strawberry jam, raspberry jam or even
blackcurrant jam. No. I was drumming and Sniff of the Yard was playing keyboards).
Anyway. We all got back after a day of hard work, only to find that Nora had eaten all the cakes! She really takes the biscuit sometimes.
Long live CALF!
