They've been doing that for a long while, "Garn!  Bugger off!" they say, "We
don't want you in our boat.  You always turn green as soon as we leave the
wharf.  And when you do manage to get in the water you become an immediate
target for cuttlefish; triggerfish and toadfish.  Even sea-urchins sprint
across the ocean floor to hurl themselves at your nether regions!"  :-)
