After a miserable Bank Holiday Monday it’s back to work today but mercifully the weather is still not up to much so to cheer ourselves up in between the usual mix of great music, we looked at the knife wielding woman who impaled her false teeth into the hand of the police officer sent to arrest her. No stranger to the courts, this lady has made no less than 11 appearances for 23 offences to date. On this occasion she certainly managed to make a lasting impression on the arresting officer!

Being a Tuesday it was good to welcome the smiling face of CARL MERRY who’s ESSEX TALE this week concerned a flea infested man, Charlie Marshall, also known as “The Spider” on account of his trick of disappearing up a chimney in the tap bar of the Bear Public House in Stock and then reappear, covered in soot, from down the chimney in the bar parlour. On one occasion, however he never returned so presumably his skeleton is still somewhere up in the bacon loft, but there is no record of it ever having been found. There have, however, been reports of some ghostly appearances! Listen again to this week’s tale by clicking on the link below: –

See you again soon,
