Who would have thought? A Carp with Herpes?

Extraordinary! We Brits love to fish for them (a national sport plus we chuck 'em back in), the Poles like to eat them (a national dish) but the Orstrilians like giving them Herpes! Big uproar in the Shires as East Europeans are taking Carp and eating them as is their wont, but that's not cricket as they're only normally fished for sport here. I won't mention our lovely swans at this point as I get quite angry...

I was quite surprised to learn that they are an invasive pest in parts of Australia. Just don't tell some of my fishing friends as they'll be over there on mass with a bag full of boilies (home made bait) and all the camo paraphernalia that identifies the average Brit coarse fisherman.

Just open your doors to more Eastern Europeans and your Carp problem will be gone!
