Consul Kurt Christensen acquainted us with:

• Grimsby, with its Danish community (2,400 Danes),
• how his family had come to move from Denmark to the intense fishing life in Grimsby,
• fishing techniques, such as pair-trawling and gill-netting,
• his views on why fish is decreasing in number (e.g. increased water temperature);
• a consul's duties.
