A Bit Crap Then
Rubbish plate spinner...dubious Scrabble word.....Pendle's Got No Talent....no finds in dig....All A Bit Crap Then.
Metal Detecting
Blackwithers regular Arthur Tussle (Canadian Club, no ice) has once again turned up trumps with his metal detecting.
Whilst recently visiting his local branch of Morrison's in Halifax his metal detector (Viking 5), discovered an astounding array of tin cans. As Arthur doesn't own the land (and is a bit of a stickler for the rules!) he offered to go halves with the store manager, who, in turn, offered to call the local constabulary. Arthur parried with the information that a well known breakfast cereal had failed to trigger his Viking 5 despite allegedly having a high iron content.
At this point a Mystery Shopper, who had been admiring the display of organic beetroot, intervened. Arthur was escorted off the premises but not before insisting that the manager re-emburse him for the pound coin lodged in his trolley. Well done Arthur!
(Arthur's biggest find to date has been the perfectly preserved fuselage of a Messerschmitt 109-E that had been gathering dust in The Imperial War museum, London.)
