Help wanted - Money waiting

pmsl Tony. Mind you with one of those I might widen the book\'s audience lol. Just spoken to your missus Alan - she says you packed the fishing in because you wouldn\'t fork out for a new basket (17/6 from Temples at the time) ;)
 
David , I seen just what you\'re looking for in Tynemouth last night . Popped in to the Salutation Inn with the wife for a drink and in the back room where the pool table is there is an old basket on the top shelf which runs around the wall . The basket looks in good nick , it\'s exactly the same as the one my dad uses . So if your passing , call in for a drink and help yourself when the bar staff are all busy !!

Cheers Marty
 
Thanks to everyone for your help, advice or general p**s take. I bumped into a basket weaver at an agricultural show at the weekend (as you do) and he is making a new one, hopefully for the weekend. Interestingly he is partially sighted, just like the bloke who made the last one, nearly 40 years ago.








That wasn\'t why I bumped into him :D

Picked up tonight. Can\'t imagine the strap will last long - will save the cutty hunk from the old one but not bad in two days :)

Don\'t know if it helps but I think I\'ve got a strap off a beta box in the garage somewhere if you want it. I\'m clearing out for a house move so if I find it I\'ll put it aside. Just let me know.
 
Thanks Peter - that\'s very kind of you. As it is I have a load of old golf bag straps which I now use - much more comfortable than the rope strap the original came with.
