    No crabs left in van overnight!



    OK.
    So most of us have seen NO TOOLS LEFT IN THIS VAN OVERNIGHT.

    But when I saw the above on a shellfish merchants van,whilst working down on the Ice plant in Newlyn earlier in the week.
    It did make me smile.
    Apparently the Crabbers will collect from their pots at all times of the day.

    As the local light fingered entrepreneurs know this,
    the merchants have to state the above.
    To prevent their vans being broken into overnight!

    Off the usual topics I know, but as I said it did make me smile!

    A good name for a plumber indeed!
    As Thomas Crapper was a very successful Victorian plumber. Whose sanitary ware sold to Royalty.
    Credited with patenting the Ball****.
