The compainant (a woman) was shitting herself. She was going to get found out as the compainant. Gutter press would be lurking outside her front door. TV would be contacting her. She withdrew her compalaint. Flint council, equally embarrassed by having the piss taken out of them nationally reinstated the Spotted Dick.timbonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06985165416240833253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-37014966643541787402009-09-25T23:16:11.725+01:002009-09-25T23:16:11.725+01:00DTW, see what I mean about confusion??? ;-)

Never seemed to bother the dinner ladies - must have been made of sterner stuff.Disgusted, Tunbridge Wellsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-68269783420991951582009-09-25T19:24:26.896+01:002009-09-25T19:24:26.896+01:00I read something about this reinstatement the othe...I read something about this reinstatement the other day (can't remember where - am useless). What struck me as amusing was that they started off by saying it had originally been changed due to some people making immature type comments (or something like that).
