Wormy Joe. (Joe Brady?)
Used to watch him bait digging on the Little Shore as a kid. The guy was a machine. Buckets of enormous lug-worms. Not sure if he commercially sold these or not.
Some time back there was a ongoing cerfuffle to halt worm digging on a number of beaches, but I guess this put a stop to it:
It's your right back to the Magna Carta to dig worms, as Alnwick Council found out at the court of appeal when they fined this chap for digging at Boulmer.
Is the law still on the side of the bait digger does anyone know? [Not sure if there has been any more challenges since that time.]
