The food police: who stole the tarts?

In our current financial climate you will probably just as surprised as I am to discover our Police budget is being wasted on catching......wait for it......desert thieves!!!!

Yes. Desert thieves.....but not any desert thieves.....POLISH desert thieves.

You've gotta be kidding :S

This year we are predicted to extradite over 1000 'criminals'. More than 4 times the amount in 2006.

Over 40% of the cases originate from Poland.

The problem is the polish do not have a crime filtering process, which means that every case no matter how trivial has to be tried.

Polish Criminals 

So far this year British Police have arrested a Door thief, (who stole his own doors), a Desert snatcher, and a Piglet rustler. Seriously!

When our Police find these people they have to be shipped off back to Poland.

According to DS Gary Flood "We now arrange for a Polish military flight every three weeks".

Surely this has got to be costing? Time and Money??

I think the Polish are having a laugh at our expense, literally.

Here comes bridezilla

The perk of being a bride is to be the best dressed, most beautiful woman in the world for a day.

Without a doubt, the wedding dress is THE most important aspect of the wedding-definitely more important than being permanently attached to the man of your dreams-soon to be nightmares. 

And this is reflected by the tens of thousands of pounds women spend on 'the perfect dress', every woman wants an original, a designer label and something that will look fabulous on them, and only them.

But with the current financial climate, it seems women are cutting back on everything non essential, and sadly this seems to include dresses.

Marks and Spencers is currently selling a wedding dress for £15! Surely there's at least one 0 missing off that number, but no! £15!!! Apparently it is in an effort to clear out old stock (it has been marked down from its original £150) to try and get rid of it. This says a lot for the dress in question really doesn't it?

Indeed Natalie Theo of the Daily Mail said "the dress was not exactly oozing with style" and that the quality was debatable.

It also says even more about the budgets of the women flocking to buy this dress, according to Marks it sold out quickly and they had to replenish the stock!

The credit crunch really is a sad time for everyone, no bride really wants to get married in (shudder) off the rack.
