Having a whale of a time
Been having a whale of a time? Or like us, been wondering where on earth that phrase might have come from? Our recent search on a popular search engine suggests that the phrase came from whalers who many years ago had a whale of a time out whaling. Wonder what the whales would have to say about that?
There’s no denying it: whales and whaling are big issues all around the world.
The whales themselves are a source of fascination for many people.
They inhabit the deepest of our oceans, they can count the largest animal on earth – the blue whale – among them, and it is their size and their blubber that have made them an easy and attractive target for hunting.
And yet much of their behaviour remains a mystery to us inquisitive humans.
