If you go out to sea in a boat perhaps fisherman may have been used - I am not sure, perhaps fisher folk. The village my wife comes from on the Moray Firth coast has two quite geographically separate sections, the fishers cottages crammed into the low flat area near the harbour and the shops and others on the higher ground. Traditionally the fishers cottages were painted the same colour as their boat, lovely photographs. The whole coastline is exceptionally beautiful though the cold keeps holidaymakers away. The fishing villages are sadly dead now, there are no fish left. cheers Frank On Tuesday, November 25, 2003, at 02:14 am, Tim Atherton wrote: > >> I'd like to point out that in television "Camera operators" >> designates fixed camera positions, such as >> you might find in a studio. >> > > Actually, now I think about it Sonny, I know why they used the term - > it's > the neuter of Cameraman which is what they would have said before the > PC > police got on their case - honest.
