Another example of sustainable fishing - the Guardian reports big supermarkets increasing sales of kippers. They are usually herring, packed with omega 3 oils, cheap and a common species. They probably nourished the Hawaiian princes before their historical dip in the Brid briney.

Kippertastic - sustainable fishing does exist
Another example of sustainable fishing - the Guardian reports big supermarkets increasing sales of kippers. They are usually herring, packed with omega 3 oils, cheap and a common species. They probably nourished the Hawaiian princes before their historical dip in the Brid briney.
Did William the Conqueror surf ashore?
Today's news that Hawaiian princes surfed England's east coast in the 19th century makes me wonder how far back in history can the Museum go? The Bayeaux tapestry should be checked very carefully - William of Normandy may have beaten Edward VIII by 9 centuries to be the first English surfing monarch! Hastings goes off.

Ed the Shred - Royal scoop for new Museum
On Friday 6th April, the Museum of British Surfing will open in Braunton, Devon. And to mark this auspicious occasion, the Museum has released the earliest photo of a Briton standing on a surfboard - the future King Edward VIII while on holiday in Hawaii in 1920. Whatever your views of the monarchy in general and Edward VIII in particular, this is an important development in the history of UK surfing. Crowns off to the Museum.
