Tongue firmly planted in cheek !

If anyone can get to the devon coastline today there's a ship a sinking !!

Free biscuits, BMW bikes and nappies apparently !!

When I saw the story I immediatly thought of that old black and white film - ''Whiskey Galore''.

I know it's serious - and I hope it's all cleared before my next Devon hols - but you have to remember the West Country's smuggling history.

Ships have been going aground there since Adam was a lad!!

As the owners of the booty will get their costs back from the insurance companies, then if any enterprising beachcomber manages a profit they will only be carrying on a very old tradition.

I have just heard on the news that people are going down there and getting jeans and all sorts of stuff,

you won't get arrested, apparently it's legal to take it as long as you 'register' your haul afterwards incase the owner wants it back - so no-one will stop you helping yourself

it was on the news that nothing is allowed to approach the ship, i.e. in the water. if its on the beach fair enough
