Link doesn't work for me. I tried clicking it and copying and pasting. I got this "The requested URL /news/topstories/tm...-name_page.html was not found on this server." message.

Never mind. I was having computer problems I guess. Sounds like a lucky fish. We had a blue heron and an owl that were pick our goldfish pond clean. We finally had to cover the ponds (my dad's pond too) with mesh to keep them out.

The retired mine worker placed the fish in warm water with slices of bread and it has recovered.

What? did he make it a sandwich to overcome the shock??

I think it's lovely that he actually did his best to rescue it. I bet alot of ppl wouldn't. Obviously the fish was one tough cookie surviving warm bath water soaked in bread.

That's awesome.
I guess, what I wonder, is what did the guy do when the fish came? Did he grab some water and toss it in? I assume so. But the article doesn't say.

Since he was having fish and chips, he could have just popped Wanda into his mouth

what about the goldie that survived a car crash it was saved from the mototrway and the paramedics put it in a cardboard dish with water
