The Spoonman!

Anthony Wishy and Chris “Britto” Britton are great mates – but any chance to take the mickey out of each other is never ignored.

Britto has a reputation of typically finding the impossible way to stuff something unstuffable up – and recently he managed to excel himself.

On a session in the shed on his boat undertaking some soldering repair work – things came a little unstuck (pardon the pun). For starters – Britto’s tools of choice were a little unorthodox. With the absence of a soldering iron, Britto opted for the trusty old spoon. Having heated the spoon and having the desired result on its contents, the molten products were used for solder and then in a moment lacking a dose of the grey matter, the spoon was laid to rest on the boat carpet. The result was pretty much as you would expect with the hot metal making short work of the boat carpet. Britto described the effect as very similar to your average mozarella laden pizza – stringy carpet that refused to let go of the spoon. All being said – Britto’s greatest mistake was letting his good mate Wishy in on the error – because I’ve never known a radio man that could keep a secret. Now that the western world is aware of the abuse of britto’s boat carpet it is safe to show some images in this blog. But please be warned the images may offend some boat proud people out there! Keep up the great work “Spoonman” – it is going to take some time to lose the nickname….

Very much in jest,
