Unsavoury Arms - latest negotiations

Dr Pangloss today explained to residents of Westphalia-on-Sea why negotiations over the redevelopment of the Unsavoury Arms had to be carried out 'behind closed doors'. 'It's quite simple, he said. When you are selling off bits of beautiful coastline to be ruined forever the last thing you want is to be constantly interrupted by a bunch of smelly locals trying to exercise their democratic right to express their opinion. The people of Westphalia-on-Sea should be very grateful that this beach is being taken over not by some insignificant small-fry, but by a colourful entrepreneur whose business empire collapsed with debts of more that £700 million. This is exactly the kind of business acumen we want to bring into the area.'

I object to the term 'smelly'. It is, in fact, malodorous.

Dear Sir,

On the subject of grand schemes which have been proposed and then forgotten I would like to remind your readers of the idea to sink a The disused Royal Navy Air Craft Carrier HMS Invincible off coast of Fishhole for use as a car park and tourist attraction, not to mention inappropriate eye-sore.

Yours,

Mr B.F.O. Fish-Heads
