A Lowestoft Fairy
Story.
Many Years ago a man called Mr B started selling tools from this
shop in the town of Lowstuff. Soon,Mr B also sold clothing and supplies to
fishing boats in the town of Lowstuff and other places but then along came some
baddies from a place called EU and made the fishermen smash all their boats
up.On the tele and in the papers a big chief called Morley from a place
called Par-liar-ment and an MP man promised Mr B who had lost all his customers
and money ,lots of grants and help but although lots of people who already had
lots of money got some ,Mr B got bugger all.
Mr B still carried on running his shop,but then the bogey men from
Woefully Dismal Council dug the roads up for two and a half years and scared all
the locals and visitors away from the town with traffic jams. Mr B decided to
go on a place called the internet.Woefully Dismal Council
made sure other shops had loading bays to use but decided it would be
a good idea to stop any delivery vans and customers still making it past the
jams from stopping anywhere near Mr B's shop by painting big yellow lines on the
path one dark night. A few days later they built a bus stop for imaginary people
to get on and off imaginary buses down the road outside the Bingy Hall so people
could stop there but told Mr B that he would have to get real lorries and vans
up his little narrow back passage (painfull) for his deliveries and collections
.What they didn't tell Mr B was they'd they stuck a concrete post in the middle
of it to make it even more narrow but before you could say "whatever next" a
fairy godmother came along with a big lorry and knocked it over . Mr B tried to
get help,some people called Kownsillors promised to help but only at a quarter
to election time not afterwards,and there was someone called an Hombudzeman,but
he hadn't got any teeth..
Mr B can't even get permission from Woefully Dismal Council to change
the use of the shop to a house because they say the Magic North Sea will come
and drown him.It's called the Magic Sea because although they say it will flood
him and his shop,they say it won't flood the places either side who can change
into what ever they want to be.
Perhaps the Magic Sea is punishing Mr B for selling stuff to those
nasty fishermen so they could catch its fish

Baconsdozen shop in Lowestoft.
We are now concentrating on the internet side of the business,selling
new whitworth/BSF,af and metric tools.We export so called obsolete imperial
tools all over the world mainly for classic car and motorcycle enthusiasts.We
sell some tools still made in England,from factories that have been making
spanners and wrenches for many years.We source tools from other countries but
only sell tools that are fit for professional use,we also auction tools at sites
like Ebay.If you need tools for an older vehicle,made in the days before planned
obsolescence and plastic wood,give us a call.

Looking over the trawl dock and the entrance to
Oulton Broad,the buildings and yachts comprise the yacht club, in the background
is the North Sea.There is periodic talk of redevelopment,with waterside
apartments and posh marinas just like you can find in a hundred other towns and
cities.Personally I'd like to see it turned into a working fishing
museum.
