Tuesday's Quote of the Day
"I have never been able to go to the opening of the fisheries because of my inability to tolerate tidal waters - and other councillors have been in the same boat" - Cllr Sonia Lewis who will be opening Colchester's oyster season on dry land for the first time in 470 years.
Not only is Cllr Lewis a landlubber, she delivered a further blow to the Essex town's long tradition of an oyster season by declaring she is not a fan of shellfsh - proclaiming herself a "fish and chips girl".
