Their brain power is at best shallow – or so we thought. Fish have hidden depths and could be a lot smarter than we think, say scientists who have busted the myth fish have a three-second memory span. In fact, they can recall information for up to a fortnight, a study shows. Scientists trained African cichlids, a popular aquarium fish, to eat in a particular part of their tank – and found they returned there to be fed after a two-week break. The findings prove fish are actually quite brainy, say researchers.

RAF Veteran Funeral

(0)
A campaign has been started after funeral directors feared that a WW2 RAF hero would not receive the send off he deserves. Sidney Marshall, who died on June 16 aged 90, was a rear gunner on a Lancaster bomber during the Second World War, and flew 28 missions, including a bombing raid on D-Day. Despite being a renowned veteran, Mr Marshall’s old age meant he had few friends or family left, and undertaker Eddie Jacobs fears no one would attend the service to honour the war hero.
