Had a quick dip in the cold sea last week at the Walpole Bay Tidal Pool in Margate. Like mermaids, I prefer the sea without pollution.
The mermaid mural in Margate Old Town put me in mind of the similarly themed Sirens of Sewage sculpture by Jason deCaires Taylor on Whitstable beach (next to the Old Neptune pub) depicting SOS Whitstable campaigners for cleaner seas with banners saying 'Save our seas', 'Like the sea we rise' and 'people over profit'.
