'Fishermen at Work'

on National Programme Daventry

View in Radio Times

By ' 'Taffrail'
In his last talk today, ' Taffrail ' leaves the trawlers and the deep sea fisheries, and describes the more primitive forms of fishing carried on from innumerable small villages scattered along the coast. His graphic and sympathetic account of the lives led by fishermen concludes with a dark picture of the future of the industry. He reveals the surprising fact that thirty-four per cent. of the national housekeeping money goes on meat, and only three per cent. on British-caught fish.
