Partial shortage of custard ravages small corner of UK

Post by CovenantJr »

Heh, it amused me.

I frequently complain about the feebleness of local journalism, but I have a new appreciation for the Bangor Anglesey Mail and the Nottinghamshire Chad after reading this.

The comments at the bottom are the best bit. :biggrin:

Indeed, though I myself may not be a fan of custard, I'll defend to the death anyone else's right to partake of it.
