I came across this when I was working in the far North of Scotland.

I have *no* idea if they are good people, doing good work, or evil landowners who hate peasants, or even French. However, I shall post, and you may find it of interest/value/whatever.

They seem to get given bits of fishing, which they auction off as a fund raiser. The auction is closed for this year, *but* there are lots unsold, and they will accept offers on the unsold ones. Days appear to start for as little as ï¿½50, and run up to several hundred. Unsold lots go for 80% of the reserve price. (the one in brackets)

I have a list of the unsold lots as a .doc. PM me, and I'll send it to you, if anyone wants it.

Shouldn't you give them the chance to mature into guides before eating them?
