Toolfitter Glenn Mayell's two-year-old twins Ben and Toby are mad about Bob the Builder - the chirpy cartoon character who topped the music charts at Christmas.

So Glenn has had the character tattooed on his shoulder along with the names of the twins.

"He wanted to do it for the children," said wife Maria at their home in

Mackley Drive, Stanford-le-Hope. Bob the Builder - catchphrase "Can we fix it?" - is the latest craze in the entertainment industry. He was created by Basildon man Keith Chapman who now lives in London.
