CONTRABAND
Ian McEwan the award winning novelist has returned some stones that he took off the Chesil Bank while writing his new best seller "On Chesil Beach" after hearing he had broken the law by taking a modest sample of pebbles Mr McEwan  arranged for some of his associates to return them.

Many people have enjoyed the work of Ian McEwan and this reporter says "let him keep his shingle" because after a walk down the beach we all invariably end up with stones in our shoes, cars and houses.

WDDC has said they are addressing this issue by employing wardens to watch for offending pebble filled flip flops, sandals, buckets, spades and so forth, the enforcement officers will be known as "Stoners" and will be found wandering aimlessly up and down the World Heritage coastline.

Who's with me when I say "let Ian hold on to his rocks!"  Bridport Radio will be taking a collection to send to the Booker prize winner, please leave your geological donation in Bucky Doo square for collection.

I would like to have the job as head stoner, I have many years experience as a stoner and can often be found wandering around aimlessly beinmg a stoner: Now I can make a valuable contribution to society by being a stoner and getting paid for it (double time at weekends and bank holidays) as I have always been refered to as ""that usless waste of space sponging stoner"". I also have (like many other older locals) a lovely garden path made of west bay shingle that I stole over a 37 year period taking just a shoefull or pocketfull at a time.
