Some well meaning folk bought a live crab from a fish stall in London and took the crab to Southend on the train to be released into the sea. I think it was very noble and well meaning. There are pictures on social media of the crab in the train carriage. Is this a heroic deed or would the crab have been petrified. ? I .not sure if the crab made it to the sea because the man photographing it for social media got off a few stops before Southend. It's all over the Essex news before anybody asks

When I was on Mexico there was this huge cockroach on bathroom wall. My partner was going to kill it but I love bugs and being from here I'd never seen one so big. I picked it up and put it out on the balcony. A second later a bird flew down and ate it. Circle of life innit.

I just found a photo of that cockroach. It's now posthumously "Fab famous"

Depends if it's a native species as to whether it was sensible to release it into the sea at Southend....

It will have more than likely died when put in the water from temperature shock

The crab was originally caught from the wild in Porthmadog or liberated from a restaurant there? These are not the same things!

Yes, but Porthmadog is much nicer than Southend. Not so I’d your in a boiling pit mind you.

Oh yes indeed. I'd rather be in Porthmadog but if Southend is minus the boiling water, I'd probably plump for it

Do you have to change train from London to Southend - I think you have to cross stations ?

Going by the lurid tales I've read on this forum over the years I'm pretty sure someone from here has caught crabs on a train before.

I would have told it the clacton train would have been the better solution…
