It’s a good thing the British are meant to be good at queueing: from the NHS to HMRC, we are having to wait longer for the state to do the things it used to.

About 70 miles off the Yorkshire coast lies a vast sandbank which 8,000 years ago formed a bridge between Britain and mainland Europe. Now sunk beneath the waves, the shallow waters of Dogger Bank — familiar to anyone who has ever heard the radio shipping forecast — are a haven for marine life. There are soft corals, crabs, sponges, sharks, fish of all descriptions and even ocean quahogs, mysterious clams which can live for 500 years.
