This is my last word on this subject, unless i have to answer to a post..
I was talking to a guy about the whale, he said to me, the creelman probably cut the ropes to release the whale...
Then yesterday, i was talking to another guy..
This is what he told me..
He was out in his creelboat, and had a hold of the rope, he was going to cut it free..
But the [ tree huggers] [his words] started to shout to him to get out of the way, as it was dangerous..
So, he left it alone, in case he got into bother..
Later, when the crowd cleared off, he went back and cut it free,
Next morning they all came back, and low and behold the whale had disappeared..
This guy told me, that he knew the creelman well..
