Must be a slow news day. I really don't see the porpoise of this story.

Stephen Savage, Sussex county recorder for sea mammals, has been monitoring seals along the Sussex coast since 1991.

He said that he had been monitoring the movements of one tagged seal Twinkle which had been spotted between Cuckmere and the River Adur.

He added: “If people do see seals they should keep a safe distance from them.

“They are curious creatures and we have had reports from early morning swimmers who have had a seal brush up against them.

“But you shouldn’t approach them if they are injured or frightened, they could do as much damage as a bear to you.”

Have to say there are a couple of amusing comments underneath the article on the Argus website.

And never leave the house without a Hi-Viz jacket on, or a 'health and safety' fascist will berate you for having the temerity to think for yourself.

Me and some family saw a seal in the Ouse near Southease bridge last year while going out in my boat... Nice to see but hardly headline news as The Argus is reporting it, is it

It was also spotted resting up on our club pontoon in Lewes a few days later.. Didn't even make the Lewes news lol

It was found dead a few weeks later apparently, but don't know if it was the same one, they all look the same to me!!!

Here for the clubbing.

Perhaps if them darn pinnipeds were a little more prevalent in our waters we might've got The Seals as a nickname back in the 70s.

This, of course, would've been f***ing ace.

I spotted the seal this afternoon leaving a hotel with Tony Bloom. Don't want to read too much into it though.

I always RUSH to threads like this to make some HILARIOUS joke, in this case perhaps something about Seal the musician, or a navy seal, yet within MINUTES I'm always too late. Bloody love NSC, I do.

TB mentioned he had a 'big club', and the seal jumped down the nearest drain like lightning. Don't know why?
