Buddens in Brugges

One of the highlights of a weekend coach trip to Amsterdam with some Michelin lads from Stoke was a stop on the return trip in Brugge. As usual unfortunately it coincided with a huge thundery rain storm so I didn't get many photos just my feet wet. However here is a local being questioned by the police as he was trying to steel some medieval 'balls and chain' hardware used to add to the historic ambiance and to keep cars off the grass. They wouldn't have lasted longer than a short Smethwick shower if that old transit with a blowing exhaust full of tinkers came along blowing it's recorded trumpet. "Officer, we thought like someone had left them out sort of thing".
