Tiger Shark Brighton Beach

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Have I gone mental or can I remember that during the Summer of '76 that a large Tiger Shark was either caught off, or washed up on, Brighton beach.

Just to settle a debate at the pub.

I reckon you've gone mental. Tiger Sharks are tropical sharks.

Might have been a Porbeagle / Mako / Thresher or something.

The plot thickens!

seem to remember a lot of fuss at the time because of "JAWS", but commander could be right about me being mental.

Nope. Useful tho.

The fishing museum boys will know if this is true or not. I will ask them next time I am down that way, or indeed you could. They are a lovely bunch and love these old tales.

If they are anything like my Ex cornish fisherman farther in law then it was probably two great whites

It seems I Google slightly quicker than you.

* I wonder if that deserves a "fixtures"? *

Great Whites have been spotted at a few places around the UK, hav'nt heard of a Tiger Shark down here but I'll do some digging.

Never been a confirmed Great White sighting.

I just saw a Brontosaurus attacking a sabre-tooth-fairy with three heads. The dinosaur could actually fly!

Or did I dream it?

No, you've just been watching 'Destroy All Monsters' on DVD.

I was about to say that - you're gonna ask a fisherman for the undiluted truth?

Great White Sharks are a con for the Cornish tourist industry.

People like to sit on the beach watching people being eaten, especially the reporter from the Sun.
