If you are desperately short of reading material, today sees the publication of Scottish Sea Fisheries Statistics for 2007. Devour it here.
Of course, in the good old days, before all these new-fangled computers, it was published much earlier in the year. In 1927, for example, it took them less than three months to gather up the data, even though there were many more fishing boats than nowadays. You don't believe me? Check out page 2 of this document and note the date in the top right hand corner.
You see, we advance only to recede.
Update: It is a disgraceful calumny to suggest that I had anything to do with the compilation of the 1927 publication.
