I rather think you are trying to flame me here...and I will not

stuff - half arsed attempt at a civil war many centuries ago - chopped
off the head of the king...waited a while and then crowned his son. We
just let go of a troublesome colony...hey, Canada is still part of the
"Commonwealth" and we all get on fine...Nuff said (and I am tongue in
cheek so need not get patriotic responses)...

Yeah, right, everything is about the saved pound or dollar...but
sometimes things are more important...I want to buy relatively healthy
fish...doesn't always happen but the legislation in place here makes it
more likely than not - otherwise these places get reported and get shut
down....Don't knock it....it's what all you guys really want in your
country...

As for exploitation - where were your jeans or trainers manufactured????
- sorry, woops, no flame war or off-topic stuff here....forget I typed

We're all part of this globalized consumerism, whether we want to be
or not. No flame intended, purely in jest. You did, however, give me
an idea for my next library visit, and that is to see what I can find
in the British history books about the amerikan revolution. Time to
take this topic off the fish board and get back to business.

I stopped in at Petco yesterday while I was in the city, bought a case
of cat food for a new feline in my home that refuses to eat the dry
food we serve our other cats. He'll learn by the time he finishes this
case. I wandered into the fish department, can never resist, and
browsed the tanks. They looked good, the fish looked really good. In
fact, I saw a tank of very nice looking angels . . . but as I looked
further, I noted that there were dozens of bags of fish hanging in the
tanks acclimating . . . delivery day . . . bad time to buy new fish.
Next time I go there, when the skinny teenager asks if he can help me,
maybe I'll strike up a conversation with him and see just what he
knows and how he cares for the fish. Instead of politely brushing him
off or intentionally asking him a difficult question that I know will
stymie him.

--off topic--- just for a sec
My mom has a Myers puma (spelling is wrong, but that's how its said) neat
cat
they are breed in Maryland, anyhow, she had that same problem, it would
starve before eating dry food, she mixed wet with dry for a few weeks and
weaned, finally it ate dry food.
---back on topic----
They have petco's every where I guess, huh, I got one here also, we always
have teens in ours walking around confused instead of working maybe its
their policy
