A farmer in Northern Ireland was left feeling lost at sea when a lorry crashed and spilled 20 tonnes of mackerel into his field.

Gordon Flinn says the lorry clipped a grass verge before ploughing through 30 yards of hedge and emptying the thousands of fish on his land.

He added that the silver fish were at some points 2ft deep and that it had taken a team of 12 men more than seven hours to clear them up… the local cat and seagulls could have done it faster
