It seems I am not allowed to mention the class in order to protect myself from World wide assault but fish and chips only a fiver at Weston over the weekend with free roll and a delicious gherkin. Not bad for a town that far south.

Good story, though, and if anyone should have stuff made up about him, it is Mandleson, just to redress the balance of the spin.

Tenner is the preserve of rampant brand profiteering by wet depressive tv chefs who have perniciously taken over certain sw former fishing villages.

I do hope he was with John Prescott at the time.... you know, the guy who would have asked for gravy with those triple-fried in virgin goose fat golden beauties; just before shoving his biro down his throat in the honeymoon suite of The Metropole Hotel.
