Flea Market rescue.

Mmm, lovely.

Will add links if it looks like this one will get through.

Original thread - F1689313?thread=346543

"and is as follows" should surely (as a minimum be amended to) read "which is as follows"

What is a 'blue crab'? Is it a particular species? I think you should tell us a bit about one before you start telling us how to take it to pieces

Tch, haven't you read h2g2? A476660 I'll add links now and do that little tweak.

Ah, so you wanted me to go and find the Entry on Blue Crabs myself before reading this? The link you've added is very helpful; thank you

I'm wondering if they should be merged into one entry as an update?

That's a good idea

I watched my father "dress" at least one crab a week throughout my childhood and I'm afraid the crunching sound and the hammer blows and the poor thing's eyes memories put me off for life. I don't even know what crab tastes like, so I can't help with the Entry. I mentioned this to someone who visits Cleethorpes just to buy crabs at the shop in the High Street, hoping they'd drop by with some comments, but they haven't, sorry, I did try.

I think working them together would be a very good idea. There only seems to be half an Entry's worth of material on each, but it's difficult to suggest how to expand either of them.

Ok, will remove this from PR and resubmit as an update.

Thank you all!
