colin, berti, tug boat and oysters

Please say hello to Colin (foreground), his cousin Berti (background) and their fine Scottish oysters*. Colin is our innocent representative up in Scotland. You might have seen him on our blog before presenting a retailer of the month award and riding a space hopper. Along with working for innocent Colin also does a nice little sideline in fresh oysters straight from his farm on Loch Creran, which he will be selling at our fete this weekend in the food market bit.

Colin and Berti call themselves the oyster boys, click back there to find out lots more about their oysters and peruse some photos of these strapping young Scottish chaps doing their stuff.

*Colin's brother 'Tug Boat' who often helps out with the oysters isn't pictured here. Tug Boat is called Tug Boat "because he is a very powerful man and he builds tug boats and 'extreme support vessels' for a living. He also loves being in the sea. When sailing he gets excited and his voice is fog-horn like. These combined attributes resulted in him being termed the tug boat". So now you know.

i'd like to know why we are confined yet again at a london event with the amount of alcohol we can bring in?? even if this is a non-profit making event i doubt the proceeds of the warm, overpriced and overrun Bars can cater for everyone. They never can. This is totally unfair and a ploy to get everyone to spend more money than neccessary.

Hello Stephanie

We don't think that the drinks won't be warm and overpriced - we've worked really hard to make sure that there's a decent and reasonably priced selection of beer/wine/Pimms etc for all (and smoothies too, of course).

And we hope that the fact that our fete is still an affordable day out for the whole family (compared to most other festivals) counts for something too.

Thanks, Dan

hello Dan,
I appreciate the answer and i really hope it will be reasonable, but on the whole nothing is ever reasonable in the UK let alone London. I look forward to it though and here's hoping it won't rain!
