Affordable housing anger

Canberra Times: Residents don't want social housing in their neighbourhood, thanks very much

Let's look for the key paragraph, eh readers?

"Public housing smack in the middle of our communal space is not in keeping with that intent. I am sorry but you don't put your dirty laundry in your front window and that is what public housing in our mini-town centre does," he said.

Bingo.

Not wanting to come across as a middle-class food snob (but I'm going to anyway), but who buys a pack of five alleged meat pasties for £1.95? Yeah, I went the extra mile and looked it up

And a fine example of a photograph of no pasties.

Nails found in bread anger

Kent Online: Woman finds nails in loaf of bread

And the telling line: She has been asked to send the slice back to the head office so they can establish where it was manufactured, but she is worried the bread will be lost in the post.

Bread's always getting lost in the post, a direct consequence of the Royal Mail employing ducks in their sorting offices. This is why you shouldn't send bread through the post.
