Do you know what that, what do I want, what does that mean?

Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish, a weekly bug-gast coming to you from the Kiwis offices in Covent Garden.

My name is Lightning and I'm sitting here with James Harkin, Anatozhinsky and Alex Bell.

And once again we've gathered around the microphones and we've got you our four favourite facts in the last seven days.

So in no particular order here we go, starting this week with my fact and that is that early ice skating rinks, Stank of Pig Fat.

What?

It's a rank rink.

Rank rink, ice rink.

So this is the fact that the very first artificial skating rinks used as kind of ice substitute because they didn't have the technology to make proper fake ice.

So instead they used a substitute which consisted of various salts and hoglard and people would skate around on it.

And they also had mounds of hoglard just at the side to look like fake snow.

Yeah and it didn't last very long. It would not last six or seven months.

When did you say that was?

That was in 1844.

Okay so that was and the first one of those was made in 1841 I think wasn't it?

Yes sorry, so this was the first one that was properly open to the public.

The one that was made in 1841 was only six foot by 12 foot so I don't think you're not going to play much hockey on that ice.

That was like his investment lira at one.

So he made that first one and it was basically like the thing you'd take on Dragon's Den to say if you give me £10,000 for 10% of the company.

Well I'm afraid it smells like Pig Fat so I'm out.
