The Merchant of Venice!

A day too late for hildasrose's Shakespeare400 Challenge.

We're on a canal, it could be Venice but it's the Staffs/Worcs actually, and I knew yesterday that there was a possibility of seeing a coal merchant. We didn't!

Here it is today, a man in a traditional working narrowboat selling coal to boaters!

By the way, have you noticed that our usernames are no longer shown in italics in our comments. I still write them in italics so you know I'm talking about a blipper!
