Following the sinking of a cargo ship off the Dorset Coast the people of the tiny English hamlet of Littlehampton have been flocking to the shore with a hands-on approach to looting whatever has been washed up.
Greek-registered ship The One-Eyed Prince went down on Portland Bill shedding 2,000 tons of timber.
The townsfolk awoke to a massive erection, after a local man put up a large sign on the beach directing locals to the bounty. A spokesman commented that, as there were no casualties following the sinking, there will be no stiffies on the beach, just lots of lengths of wood.
The Coastguard commented,"It's been hard on the shipping industry lately, we've had everything washed up from Harley-Davidsons to plastic ducks over the last few weeks. The standard of living in Littlehampton has rocketed though."
Michelle Jeffrey of Littlehampton said from the beach today, "It's like the Early Morning Wood Fairy has come to Littlehampton, I've had more wood than I can handle already today. I've been grabbing shaft after shaft"
