Interfering with Dolphins


If you understand this article, you understand what it means to be British:
1. The belief that if a dolphin is available to give you a lift, you should avail yourself of it;
2. That someone can be prosecuted for playing with a dolphin - could it not have swum away? I seem to recall primary school myths that a dolphin could kill a man with their snout, if it so desired.

This article hums with drama - did each side have their own marine biologist with their own professional rivalries? Was Dave the Dolphin served with a witness summons? As the article says, the case continues. Bless this isle.
