Situations like this bring out the best and the worst in people.

Last year we had a whale got stuck on our beach. People were skiving off work to go down to see if they could help get it safely back on its way. Sadly, despite the relentless efforts of people from various specialist organisations with various equipment, plus the help of volunteers, the poor animal died.

Then even after there'd been time for the news to get round, people were still excitedly going along to see it. I was miles away when it all happened, but was back in town that evening and had to drive past that part of the sea front to collect the wife from her granny's. I couldn't believe the number of cars parked up and hordes of people trying to catch a glimpse of the poor dead whale.
