´óÏó´«Ã½

Great news! A group of top ´óÏó´«Ã½ producers and researchers have just voted me their favourite presenter.

Was it down to my sparkling wit? My total professionalism on air? My ability to cope under pressure? Or was it down to the fact I've just got back from London with a box full of doughnuts? Judging by the way everyone in the office is licking their lips, I am guessing it was the latter.

So, why would I fly back from London with a box of stodge in my hand luggage? Well, as the ad says, these are not just doughnuts... these are Krispy Kreme doughnuts ( Although in the interests of balance I should point out that other brands of doughnuts are available.)

Krispy Kreme make 2.7 billion of them a year in the States and as well as buying them hot off the line in shops, folk are ordering box loads for special occasions like birthday parties and even wedding receptions. ( Classy!) The company claim to produce enough in a week to make a line of doughnuts stretching all the way from New York to Los Angeles.

My haul did cause a bit of a kerfuffle at security though, and given our reputation for unhealthy eating, I imagine the guy at Heathrow had a pretty self-righteous look on his face when he told anyone looking for the Glasgow flight to follow the guy with a box of deep fried doughnuts in his hand luggage...
