First sighting in Hove of ‘viator facies similem nephropidae’ (Lobster-faced tourists) somewhat late in the year. Possible reasons for divergence from previous seasons:

• Unusually cold weather fronts caused by location of jet stream (new position resulting from global warming and rapid melting of polar ice caps)
• Increased public awareness of harmful effects of over-exposure to sunlight (exacerbated by thinning of ozone layer cased by presence of CFCs) leading to:
• Increased public usage of more efficient skincare products, specifically sun-blocks
• I was in Devon over the Easter weekend so I missed seeing earlier examples

I reckon I could get a research grant for this kind of quality thinking.
