^^^ I found this interesting, it's about a fella making a living in Hackney, doing what would usually be considered as a rural hobby/occupation.

Good luck to him !

Fair play to the bloke.

I do like folk with alternative lifestyles. Just down the road here, there's a couple with a kid that live in a converted horse box van, and they carve allsorts of stuff with a chainsaw and axes, and sell them on the side of the road. In fact we have commissioned them to make us a couple of wooden statues of our two dogs. They are really nice people, a bit smelly, but nice.

Sorry but he is selling basic carpentry as a work of art.

Here's a proper carved spoon( 99p in a charity shop)

How long will it be before the damand dries up?

I hope he's not a one trick pony.

Thanks for the warning, I nearly asked her then. I knew it was a trick but my curiosity was piqued.

Dammit. Busted.

I can bend spoons using telekinesis. Raise my hand if you believe in telekinesis.

Yes, near Stratton Audly. You wouldn't want to move in with them. Really. I mean it, you really wouldn't.
