    Reminds me of the one about the Texan cattleman who went out to dine:

    Waitress: And how would sir like his steak?

    Rancher: Just pull its horns out and wipe its ass!

    Mind you it amazes me the amount I can eat sometimes when I get home after a skin full down the Pub. The other night I must have eaten a whole large chicken the wife had cooked and put in the fridge over night for dinner next day when I got home. I did not even remember it till she came into the bedroom next morning and said whats happed too the chicken I put in the fridge for todays dinner theres just a pile of bones left on the plate in the fridge.

    You should have blamed the gorilla that sneaks in behind you on return from pub, you know, the one that chucks your clothes around the bedroom, wees on the bathroom floor [or worse] and shovels grit in your gob during the night

    So Trading Standards are now doing what was once bread and butter work for the Police. Or is it a case of two agencies chasing the same problem ? Yet another case of outstanding efficiencies practiced by public bodies.

    It is Friday morning, blowing a gale and my mood not improved by listening to politicians gabbling away on Radio 4.

    The rest of you have a nice day.

    And just the sort of entrapment activity that Tim Martin moans about. I wonder if Trading Standards were doing something useful at the same time, like checking on short measures on pints.
