Maybe not if the whale is in one piece, but the shear force of a tornado can be pretty high.
Maybe you're right though, I should cut my teeth on whaleicaines for now.
You missed: ‘Going to Newlyn specifically to visit the place where the UK #OrdnanceSurvey measure their sea level datum from’.
And: ‘Visiting Porthcurno, Cornwall, because it’s where some of the earliest undersea cables came ashore in the UK’

Newlyn was disappointing. It’s on a Quay with no public access :(
Friend that I visited Porthcurno with:
“It’s just a hut with some wires in😒”
“But it’s the start of the internet!”
Only vaguely related but you might like it. Very old English joke:-'My dad was so mean he told me when the ice cream van played the music that meant they'd run out'
😆 I heard a nocturnal animal scrabbling out on my porch foraging dropped bird food and flashed open the door to chase it away.
Oops, it was a possum, who had gone into “dead” mode l, and then had to get into “dead animal trying to run away.” A very awkward pose.
So glad it wasn’t a skunk
Well, that sums up the problem for me on why the ice cream man keeps circling that block of my neighborhood. I always expect neighbors to be yelling "go away" with police calls made just to see his vehicle disappear with much disappointment.
