We never asked his name, but the chap who sold “Family fun” on the pier at Bangor had been doing the business for 25 years.
And his bright yellow shop brightened up an otherwise grey day.
We bought some postcards to send back to Italy, and behind us patiently waiting were two girls wanting to purchase a crab catching kit.
I have to say the kit was not that sophisticated containing as it did a bucket, a stretch of twine, and a net.
That said on previous visits the kit did the trick, as clumps of visitors added more crabs to their buckets, before throwing them back at the end of the day.
