Nanny Can Never Be Trusted

Loyal readers will recall that in January I wrote about Nanny's chums from Harningey council first banning London's oldest working smokehouse from using smoke, then unbanning it:

"Last week I wrote about the Uber Prats from Haringey council banning London's oldest working smokehouse (Walter Purkis & Sons) from using smoke to smoke fish.

Unsurprisingly, a veritable firestorm of anger was unleashed upon the cretins within the council.
 
Can you guess what happened next children?

Yes, that's right, Nanny (as she always does when she is exposed as being a cretin) backed down."

However, as I noted at the time, the good people of Walter Purkis & Sons were sceptical about Hanringey council keeping its word.

Mr Purkis said:

"We will be happy if it does come out right but we are a little worried in case it is a temporary thing until things have calmed down."

Sadly it seems his scepticism was justified. The Telegraph reports that the council is now trying to pass the buck to the department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra).

Typical weasel behaviour by Nanny!

Anyhoo, it seems that word of the Purkis family's travails has reached the ears of Prince Charles, who has sent an envoy to the smokehouse to find out what is going on.

Let us see what happens next!

Nanny can never be trusted, and must be watched closely at all times.

Smoke Free Smoke - Nanny Backs Down - Maybe

Last week I wrote about the Uber Prats from Haringey council banning London's oldest working smokehouse (Walter Purkis & Sons) from using smoke to smoke fish.

Unsurprisingly, a veritable firestorm of anger was unleashed upon the cretins within the council.
 
Can you guess what happened next children?

Yes, that's right, Nanny (as she always does when she is exposed as being a cretin) backed down.

London24 reports that Walter Purkis & Sons has been allowed to smoke fish again.

Cllr Nilgun Canver, cabinet member for the environment, said:

“We recognise the unique nature of this family business and its importance to the local community, and we are really keen to help find a solution in the best interests of everyone involved. 

We have been working closely with Mr Purkis to help him find a way to reopen the smokehouse while also reducing the impact on neighbours. It has now been agreed that Mr Purkis will reopen the smokehouse and we will support Mr Purkis over the coming months to help him upgrade the smokehouse equipment.”

However, rather wisely, Mr Purkis is not yet convinced by their promises.

“We will be happy if it does come out right but we are a little worried in case it is a temporary thing until things have calmed down.”

Nanny can never be trusted, and must be watched closely at all times.

What she takes with the one hand, she receives with the other.

Smoke Free Smoke

Congratulations to Haringey council for winning my rarely given "Uber Prats of The Week" Award.

For why?

Just ask Walter Purkis & Sons (the oldest working fish smokehouse in London), which is facing closure after one person complained about the smoke to the council (funny how it only takes one complaint to cause Nanny to wet herself); who then told the owners that they can only use smoke-free wood.

Now the astute amongst you may notice a wee problem with that.

Anyone?

Yes, that's right, it's a farking smokehouse; it needs to use smoke to smoke the fish!

A council spokesman told the Mail:

"We are working closely with them to resolve the issue. 

Until then the owner has been asked not to use the smokehouse."

Haringey council, well deserving Uber Prats of The Week.
