  1. What is rockpooling? You must forgive my ignorance, I am an American (it's a national trait).

  2. lol - I reckon the UK can claim to as large a proprtion of dummies as the US.

    Rockpooling (or is it rock-pooling?)is the aggreeable passtime of looking in rockpools at the seaside to see what stuff you can find, like crabs, shrimp, anemones, used tampons etc.

    I think you're supposed to grow out of it after childhood, but I never have.

I'm going to risk taking comment moderation off for a bit, so if you're a web-bot, a robot, a bot-fly or a bottom-dwelling sediment-feeder, then please refrain from commenting.

Otherwise, have a go. S'fun.
