English Whale dies, many more Britons feared at risked

Just after the bottle nosed whale that visited Londoners as it swam into the Thames and beached itself it seems that copy-cat beaching are now occurring in Goa. Today on my afternoon walk along the beach I had the mispleasure of witnessing hundreds of English whales that were stranded along the coastline. Many appeared to be burning and blistered in the hot sun. Scientists are still baffled as to why the mammals beach themselves, but as one vet on the scene declared, " hopefully it is not part of some strange mating ritual", one can only hope!"

In the interests of reader satisfaction photos will not be posted. (Nor were any taken)
