"Fork Handles (four candles) please"

Did our weekly shop in Cockermouth today, and was hunting for some border adhesive for a corner of wallpaper that had lifted. So I visited a fabulous hardware shop in the town called J.B. Banks & Son - I think this is "son" or even "Grandson" as the shop has been open for 120 years, and this lovely gent (Ken) started work in there at 15 - in 1964.

What a fascinating place - they even have a museum upstairs. I think I've found a new gold mine for photography.
