TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS ….

Last year we installed a number of stainless steel shackles on eyebolts so that people could tie up their dogs.  To our horror and disappointment we have noticed that all five shackles that where outside have been nicked.  I can’t decide if I prefer the thought that it was just one person helping themselves to all five or whether there were a number of light fingered buggers who helped themselves over time.  Ho hum.  We will be replacing the shackles with fixed ring-bolts.
