    Reading the ‘bubble’ post, i think that “Super Cockle” deserves his own thread.

    A lovely chap who had to endure the question “Have you got crabs?” in every pub.

    He was sometimes followed by the Salvation Army collecting money but i don’t think they were a team.

    His name was Harry and what people didn’t know he was a black belt 3rd Dan in Karate. I always remember running a local quiz and he came in selling his produce and one of the team nicknames was ‘ Hey Cockle Man, come over here and rub some vinegar on this muscle ‘ which I proceeded to read out on the mic ( you can imagine the laughter ‘

    Beedar, you are a card! :)

    Super Cockle sold Kershaws sea food if I remember correctly. I used to love his cockles.

    Yes, he was Super Cockle! He was a real local superhero.
