        Make it even more British by not pronouncing the h in the name of the village, because why would they say it like it’s written. It’s pronounced *mauzall, I kid you not.

      Tom Bawcock is a legendary character from the village of Mousehole, Cornwall, England. He appears to have been a local fisherman in the 16th century. According to the legend, one winter had been particularly stormy, meaning that none of the fishing boats had been able to leave the harbour. As Christmas approached, the villagers, who relied on fish as their primary source of food, were facing starvation.
