Fishy dullness

Dorset Echo: Simple island folk celebrate opening of Britian's first lumpfish hatchery

FACT: Any story about Portland has to BY LAW start with the words "Simple island folk"

Update: I have learned (see the comments) that Swansea City midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson owns a lumpfish business.This must rank as the most WTF piece of football trivia of all time.
