I seem to remember a line about Scottish martial arts in the Mike Myers comedy So I Married An Axe Murderer? "It's called f**k you, and seems to involve kicking people when they're down..." 
Anyway, there was a story in my local paper a week or two ago that'll either have you laughing your bums off, shaking your heads in despair, or both.
On my part of the Clyde, there's the wreck of a sugar ship that ran aground and almost sank in a storm about 30-odd years ago (it been there for as long as I can remember anyway). It lies on a sandbank on it's port side, happily rusting away, bothering no one.
Recently, Clyde Coastguard had to bring several people off the wreck for their own safety.
What were they doing there? Five adults (and I use the term loosely), two kids and (wait for it) a dog, were having a picnic...
Not only that, they were using a camping stove to cook food, they had no safety gear at all - and, to use a direct quote from the article "Alcohol was believed to be involved."
I've no idea what happened to them, but hopefully someone called the Police and the RSPCA.
Potential entrants for the Darwin Awards next year methinks...

From an "east coast" perspective anyway - it HAS to be salt and sauce, yum. Its bland without it. I was so upset when we were on holiday in the lakes and we had to have a chippy without sauce.
Ah crap. eh.....typo!......other things on my mind!......not good at multi-tasking!..... All of the above!!..... I feel like a right cretin! 
Sauce should be free whatever the flavour.
