Expand There are no sizeable predators on the island, and I suspect humans found them to be not worth the trouble - especially when there are so many alternatives. Mind you, somebody has got to have given them a go at some point.

The lake bottom hand sanded to facilitate pebbles, silt and a deepwater ecology system for waterborne creatures, flora and fauna. The shore line carefully placed close to local amenities and ale houses. Boats have been kindly donated by locals and seasonal visitors". The boat was in the Queen's Jubilee Regatta on the Thames on that dreadful rainy day. It's my boss's (although he's retired now). He literally, and I do mean literally, built it himself. He's not a tradesman, but like most geezers, loves to tinker in a workshop. It has about 12 coats of varnish. Like me .
