The details of the fish in the photograph were not given in the e-mail sent to us by Sz.F., but we can confirm with some certainty that they were not the “elő ponty” (living carp) advertised. In the words of Monty Python, “E’s not pinin’! ‘E’s passed on! This fish is no more! He has ceased to be! ‘E’s expired and gone to meet ‘is maker! ‘E’s a stiff! Bereft of life, ‘e rests in peace! ‘Is metabolic processes are now ‘istory! ‘E’s off the twig! ‘E’s kicked bucket, ‘e’s shuffled off ‘is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin’ choir invisibile.”
