Just six days ago, a group of migrant workers were caught out whilst collecting cockles from the highly dangerous Morecombe sands. 19 died. [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/lancashire/3465109.stm](http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/lancashire/3465109.stm) If you read the story of that tragedy all the way, you’ll see this nearly happened two weeks ago when 30 folk had to be rescued. So today I start looking at the BBC news website and bugger it all, what stroy emerges? Not hard to guess, and here is the link, [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/lancashire/3482653.stm](http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/lancashire/3482653.stm) Now this lot made their own way back to safety, but bleedin’ hell!! ---
