Socked Saga!
The joke of the Missing Sock seems to have backfired on the staff of the Missing Sock. What started as a humorous prank by the staff has escalated into a sock following, a secret source of red socks. Starting when each car visiting the restaurant would be `socked’, a small red sock mysteriously attached to the rear window. One or more customers have now turned the tables by applying these red socks to road signs throughout Cambs and Suffolk. Very amusing at the beginning now red socks are appearing on numerous road signs around Cambridge and Newmarket. A frustrated Socfinder has now asked for the joke to cease, “we have received over 50 sightings of these socks and numerous complaints from the councils in Cambridge and Newmarket. Its ridiculous, one day we had more calls for sock sightings than we had restaurant bookings”. Socfinder has removed socks 3 times from signs around Quy only to find them not missing for very long and getting higher up the signs, seriously risking well being in their removal. tMS urgently request is to please stop the missing sock joke as we are trying to appease annoyed councillors and risking life and limb in the removal of these socks. What started as a stretch to remove a little sock on the sign has escalated to the purchase of a two part ladder, scrapers, hard hat and high-visibility jackets to remove a big foot high flying socks, hitting the road several times a week. The Socfinder hot line is 01223 812660, please be discreet if you spot a red sock. To the culprits, great joke, well done you well and truely socked us, time to lose the missing socks forever.
