Off The Peg Excuses


I enjoyed this spoof statement from Private Eye - to be dusted down and used by anyone caught up in an embarrassing sex scandal - in this case the BBC,Liberal Democrats and the Catholic Church.

Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
