READING in the Bolton Evening News, I note the local council, some seven months down the line, have still not come to a conclusion with regard to a case of food poisoning allegedly connected with a Farnworth shop.

No result has been forthcoming, nor can an inspector give any clues after seven months.

Interestingly enough, there is a form of poisoning which occurs most weekends -- it's called excess of alcohol, and doesn't take seven months to be proved, just 24 hours in most cases.

Come on, inspectors, surely one can clear this case.

Well, I will support the shop in Farnworth. In fact, I would buy more from the shop, as the good quality is there.
