Did you take a knife and fork?
Just my hands!

I've done that with curry - but only on buses.
Thanks - I'm never hopeful with threads I introduce.
But it's a good start. 
Collecting shells - explosive shells.

Why on earth did you do that?
And where were you?
In all senses of that phrase.
Lochs have beaches. In the 1970s, I walked along the beach of Loch Long one morning before breakfast. Only on getting to the end of it did I realise there was a flag forbidding it at all costs.
Turns out it was a torpedo testing range. I could have been back in London within seconds.

Tried to count the pebbles on Shingle Street beach once.

That is where it is rumoured the Germans invaded in 1940.
Any evidence found by metal detector etc would produce a great pension.
You could go and investigate it if thinking of doing a recount.
Much controversy over whether many Germans were burnt alive by a secret stash of fuel that the British ignited just offshore when they allegedly invaded.
Beaches are places where normal codes of conduct are suspended. If you're naked on the pavement, people will be outraged and you'll be arrested, but you can flash your bits while changing on the beach without a problem. Families stand on the shoreline, in immediate danger of being swept out to a watery death, and think it's fun. People jump off piers, risking death in shallow seas, even though they know the practise is ominously called tombstoning. Weird.
I can often be seen with my willy out on Shingle Street.

Now I know why you suggested meeting there 
Measured the speed of the backflow of waves on Chesil beach with a funnel on the end of a string with two black marks on the string which triggered an electro-magnet to thump the button of a stopwatch.

Why?
That reminds me, I should read Chesil Beach again.
