DO you recognise the cheery cartoon figures on these fabulous mugs?
They’re “the two Sharons” – Sharon Warboys and Sharon Knott.
Sharon and Sharon are familiar faces from Facebook’s Don’t Let Dunstable Die and www.longlivedunstable.com.
The friendly logo, designed by an artist, brings a smile to the faces of online visitors.
Now mugs with the ladies’ fun logo have gone on sale at Clowns, in High Street North, Dunstable.
It all started when Eugene Ghent, of Clowns, was trying out a new “mug press”.
He decided to surprise the two Sharons by putting their logo onto a couple of mugs.
They loved them and Eugene is now selling the range at a bargain price of £5.99.
He is also producing mugs with a picture by award-winning Dunstable photographer Graham Custance, of the clock tower on The Square.
A donation from each cartoon or clock tower mug goes towards the running of the Long Live Dunstable site.
Businesses who come forward to provide sponsorship can be given a spot on the special mugs.
They can also be featured on Don’t Let Dunstable Die/Long Live Dunstable bags going on sale soon at the shop.
All I can say is, the mugs sound like a great way to help “brew up” support!
SPECULATION continues about the mystery noise, like thunder, heard in Dunstable at times lately.
One woman has now rung us to suggest that it might be caused by work on the site that will house the new Morrisons store in Houghton Regis.
Another reader writes: “Where we live in Priory Road, it seems clear that the rumbling noise comes from the demolition site in the Dukeminster Estate.
“If you stand on Church Street by the Black Cat for long enough, you will hear it.
“They are bringing down building debris, including lots of steel beams and sheets from several storeys up and then moving it around the site.
“Those who live near but cannot hear it are perhaps shielded from the noise.
“We have heard it from our home and when standing nearby.
“If it was the quarry, it would have been heard before because it has been going for years.”
So far, I’ve only heard it on the grapevine...
IT gives me a little glow to hear about acts of random kindness.
So I was pleased to see a very nice thank-you note in the April edition of Focus parish magazine, for Eaton Bray, Edlesborough, Northall and Dagnall.
What did it say? “Barbara Bates would like to thank ‘Mark’ from Edlesborough for rescuing her husband when his wheelchair became stuck in the mud when out in The Meads.
“Just to let people know there are Good Samaritans around these days.”
Good job, Mark.
It isn’t such a wicked world after all, is it?
