In the News: Jellyfish Misquotation

From Bridport News: Giant jellyfish wash up on county coast

Barrel Jellyfish (Rhizostoma pulmo)

Sadly the newspaper does it's best to dramatise the event "A HOLIDAYMAKER had a shock when he stumbled across a giant jellyfish on a beach in Lyme Regis." I'm not sure where they expect to find washed-up jellyfish - but that bit of land between the sea and the cliff is a prime spot. If I found atop a lamppost in London, yes, I would be shocked. On a beach it's hardly worth mentioning.
