Other times North Sea came up
This is a fact that was found by James, and that is a non-league footballer in Aberdeen missed the goal so badly that they found the ball 1,800 kilometers away in Norway. His shot went past the goal. It went into the River Dee, and it just went into the North Sea, and it just floated away. Then ages later, because for the fact that they had the name of their team on the ball, they got an email from a small island off the coast of Norway called Vanna, who said, we've got your ball.

No, that is really interesting. They found a load of mussels around Britain a few years ago. They found some in the North Sea and some down near Bristol and some down on the South Coast. They all look like mussels because I don't want to be muscle racist, but all mussels kind of look the same. Then they did DNA tests on them and they were all completely different species.
