....end up along the west coast of Britain??

That's a hell of a wind to blow them off course.

It's been really wierd lately (since el nino I think) during the summer in Cornwall - sharks aplenty and strange jellyfish.
Not sure how it happens - would it be the Gulf Stream / big current I can't remember the name of which results in the microclimate in the Scilly Isles?
