(Cod fishermen and the MI have a lot in common IMO - apart from the

Have you ever met a cod fisherman who gets a golden handshake of UKP 7M
when he returns with his net empty?

Erm... my recollection is that some owners of fishing boats were paid to
take their boats out of use and cease fishing. The reason being the damage
they were doing to the fish stocks. No idea what they were paid, but there
may be an parallel at some level.

Slainte,
