had a short stroll along the beach today, now if i was still a smoker i would have been in heaven, i wasn't tempted in the slightest, just bemoaned the fact that it wasn't a container full of 18yr old malt whiskey or Aerotanks and Provaris, all along the high tide mark were millions of packs, mostly menthol. no exaggeration folks if of the mind you could pick up enough not to have to buy any cigs for a good couple of years (though that would be illegal of course) photo below is not mine but gives you an idea of what it looks like and this goes on for miles

Maersk containers, Customs have been waiting at access points along the coast for the past few weeks liberating unhappy beachcombers of their booty they cant be in all places at all times so there will be a few who will happily scratch around in the dark gathering them by the sackload, if i smoked i would have been tempted.

A few years ago there was a boat lost it's load near where I live but in different circumstances. It was a boat filled with bales of an illegal smoking substance you could say. Customs knew about them and were going to board them inside UK waters so the crew threw their cargo overboard. And yes some of it did wash ashore, you've never seen so many teenage beachcombers in your life lol. Surprisingly this coincided with a massive sales increase of pot noodles in the local ships lol
