He Hears The Cockles Singing -- For sixty years, old Tom Wilson has been listening to cockles singing on the sandbanks of Morecambe Bay, Lancs. "Sing?" says Tom, "Sometimes they're as noisy as the whistle, of a train." Twice a day for sixty years he has led his donkey and cart on the six-mile walk to the sands from the village of Flookburgh. With him he takes his jumbo - a wooden device like a couple of cricket wickets. When he rocks the jumbo to and for the cockles are coaxed to the surface and Tom's son, Harold, gathers them in.
