moving away from the constantly needed debunking of "DFM theory",
could we talk of the appropriatnesss of "people"?
(I will use photos actually taken at the time to reinforce my limited
english eloquence, its a quiet day so its over long)

I was on a beach the other day....

(you will just notice one other person walking the dazzling sand in
the distance, which adds to the sense of loneliness in a photograph at
least)

...watching an arctic tern delicately fish for sand eels
"http://www.fellwalk.co.uk/IMGP1703.htm"

and drinking a "Simmer Dim" listening to the lap of the gentle
Atlantic, augmented by local food made by local people there in the
far far north of our temperate archipeligo, a "Sandwick Sandwiches"
chicken tikka massala roll. (made freshly daily)
When a bunch of over actives from Sunderland arrived and proceeded to
fail to fly a para-glide-ascender-water-thingy, why go all the way to
the end of our islands to arse about with bits of string, have these
people no soul? They were of mixed ., they could have had "the most
northerly shag" in the dunes instead.
