The Shawcross is the entity that eats your food out of the
fridge or biscuit cupboard. Some believe he exists only in
legend, however equally others say that they knew they had half a fruit cake in the cupboard which has now mysteriously disappeared.
In some cultures, The Shawcross is also blamed for the loss of one
sock out of a pair - especially when you know you DEFINITELY put two in the washing machine.

Tim "No -

John "Grrrrrrr!!"
