Trust me, the one I went to didn't look like that.

That all depends on your expectations. We often drive
down on a Sunday morning just to walk the old rail line from the
antique mall to Lover's point or the John Denver memorial.

The rest of the trilogy, 'Bronze Summer' and 'Iron Winter', are
okay but the focus moves from Doggerland.
When Doggerland is submerged and the people have to leave it it
seems totally logical that the focus would change to ancientry.
Remember Doggerland was prehistoric so I cannot even say ancienty
history but whatever the author according to his education can
imagine of those times.
Archaelogy has brought mots of human 'prehistory' into the class of
'fairly well known history'
History is defined by being written.
 I eat fish once in a while. Either canned tuna or
 Mrs. Paul's Fish Sticks. Alas putting the 'oil'
 down my kitchen drain means lots of visits by
 the plumber and his roto-tool - so it's mostly
 the fish sticks nowadays 🙂

You do realize there is water packed tuna? I drain it into the cat's bowl--
and it's gone long before the trash panda gets wind of it. I do get
sardines in oil and after I get the fish out the can goes on the deck. Not
as popular as tuna juice but community cats will eat almost anything.
Except Blue Buffalo. The cats wouldn't eat it. The raccoon wouldn't eat
it. The skunk managed to choke it down.

Perhaps, but it's so much _fun_ (if you're into that sort of thing).
There's always at least one lunatic who insists the war partying
fun go on indefinitely ...
