Hope you enjoyed your sausage teacake.
We were talking about the stocks today.
I think they are just Victorian whimsey, and were never used.
Though since they're there, never say never.
Seems a shame if they're never used for their intended purpose.

I'll have to be honest with you, Gary, that's the first time I've ever been in the shop in my life. However, the barmcake was excellent - a veritable prince amongst sausage barmcakes - and excellent value at £1.85. Nice, friendly service too. I shall be returning!
As for the stocks, any suggestions?
