So All Fine and Dandy ?

If world human mammal population continues to increase, there will come a time when all available cooking oil will be needed for cooking by Humans for Human Consumption. So, what then?

I smelt a bleak, cheap skate publicity stunt, just for the wahoo factor of flying in a mackerel sky.

See how I snook those in?

(I knew my “Observer’s Book of Sea Fishes”, a Sunday school prize from 1969, would come in useful again one day….. ).
