Extract
For the next three weeks, fish is a touchy subject. We don't even have fish on Fridays now, which I'm quite pleased about as it means I don't have to go to the fish and chip shop any more. I've had to give all our emergency tins of salmon to the old people down the road, and I have to censor the newspapers before Mark's father can read them. Luckily there's never much news about fish, but you can't ever be sure what they're going to have in the Mail.
