A fishy story if ever I heard one
Once upon a time, there was a Moray eel named Alfred who lived in Portsmouth and was a very well-known celebrity figure in the local area. Alfred, while not of particularly noble stock himself, did have quite a few friends in high places, including a hermit crab called Maurice, who was notable for being the first ever crustacean to enter the House of Lords.

Now, as most people will remember, in 2005, to mark the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar, warships from around the world assembled just off Portsmouth to be reviewed by Her Majesty. While this was undoubtably a proud occasion for all involved, such a show of naval might did not sit at all well with the marine population of the south coast, most of whom had lost friends and family to propellor screws, munitions and petrochemical pollution.

As the excited crowds watched and waved, a smaller but equally vocal band of fish and squid from as far afield as Poole and Hastings gathered by the sea wall with their hand-made placards, and to show their displeasure and contempt with the whole event, Maurice and Alfred stood on the highest bollard they could find, and turned their backs on proceedings.

Their protest didn't go unnoticed by the local press, as the headline in The News the next morning read "Crab Peer, Eel A Shun Ships".
