The Phantom Sock Snatcher of Ye Olde London town...

 The phantom sock snatcher of Ye olde London town.  No it's not a Goon show title, it's a bloody pain in the arse.   Ok, I don't actually live in Ye Olde London town, but the bloody sock snatcher is real enough.
 Someone-something is taking socks in our house, it's not my son, his socks are going missing too. It's not the dog becuse we haven't got one, that leaves the phantom... or something else......
