Chalky White
I think it was during the holiday season that "Chalky White" would frequent seaside towns, you had to find him after you bought your paper of course, the previous year I had seen this scenario so when we went to Newquay the following year we hunted him again, when you had found him you had to say, "make my way the Chalkie way " the second year I knew the set up and went searching on Newquay beach, spied a man carrying exactly the same ex army water carrier over his shoulder I think, said the appropriate words and won myself £50, what i didn't realise was my name was in the paper, I went back to work the following week and my colleagues had seem me in the paper, what I didn't like was anyone could have seen my location, my husband would have nothing to to do with this, so I bought the 3 of us a posh ice cream sundae and spent the rest on a gold chain which I think I still have, he wasn't prepared to help me so I collected the reward.
Years and years before I think my mum told me a man called " loppy Lud" think it was who did the same thing
