Indeed he did and we still see Weaver fish down here.
Each summer I do a mini survey to see which part of
Weymouth beach the fish are situated. Over the last 2
- 3 years they seem to be moving down the beach away
from the Pavillion end - no idea why!

It is important to get the water as hot as the patient
will stand (without causing burns obviously) and
replace the water when it cools until the pain eases.
Most people feel a lot better after 15 - 20 minutes.
