  ooo i dont know this neither....my dad used to tell me I would get arrested for stealing the shells cos the other kids wouldnt be able to play with them when I was younger...but I presumed that was just aversion tactics lol
  
  If it is illegal to take the rocks/pebbles/shells then surely it must be illegal to go beach combing??? or take the fossils in cliffs?

  I just read it is technically illegal to take rocks/pebbles and even shells!!!
  
  As they are all owned by someone!

  Not illegal to take shells but rocks, pebbles etc are an environmental issue so DEFRA have laws to keep beaches intact.......which is why you can buy rocks etc in DIY stores.....understandable really.

  She just keeps bobbing at me tonight. She ain't done that in ages. I'll have to go back under the over of darkness for her sand. (not really she has wood bark stolen from the park)

  What about wood bark then, just touching on above (I never stole any) she has a wood bark hide that I bought, is it legal if out and about and you stumble across one of them to take it?

  So I can blame you lot for the coastal erosion that is about to claim my house :cry:
  
  no but seriously that's why you're not allowed to take the rocks, they break up the power behind the waves before they hit land. None of you do geography?
