"Something" in the water off the south coast

Have a chat about any general surfing related topics.

I know what the something is!!!!
I just heard on the news.

They are mainly concerned about the oil spillage, but the "something" it was carrying is shampoo an conditioner (hair products)
So all you guys who surf down south are going to have silky locks after a surf. :wink: :lol:

Most of the containers were trashed anyhow by the looks of it.

unpacking tons of stuff & leaving the packaging all over the beach is bad news though, authorities should have been onto this a lot quicker, but isnt that always the case.

Can i just say one thing, its a different cargo ship!!! the original one was carrying insectasides and pesticides that one has been towed into france. the one off branscombe is a different ship.... 9 BMW motorbikes have been aquired, but there is a car and car batteries in the water which ain't good and yes some wild birds have washed up (no paris hilton has been washed up for years) on a serious note though i hope theres no lasting damage to well anything!!!!!
