Yup. My grandfather - Liverpool docker - died of aggressive leukemia not long after Sellafield, and my father always said there were shedloads like him down the coast who were "buried" literally and figuratively.

A friend of mine on the coast near here used to fish in the Irish sea, and eat what he caught. till one day he fished out a  small (1m long 15cm arround) yellow and black Bouy, so he popped into the local pub to ask about it thinking it was  someones fishing marker, only to be told to remove a card from a sealed pouch and put it in the post, and there would be someone along to collect it in a few days. Turns out they are thrown into the coolant outflow of Sellafield to see where the current is going to take any leaks.  He dosen't eat the fish anymore

The Mark Thomas Comedy Product did a programme after someone forwarded them a memo that had gone to Sellafield workers about wearing protective clothing while working outdoors, be cause the seagull shit was radioactive around the site. Heres a link to the programmes webpage including the fact that pigeons were also contaminated, and the local lobsters were 30 times the safe limit of some radioactive substances.

Life should consist in at least fifty percent pure waste of time, and the rest doing what you please.
