Andrew Marr includes in his catalogue of all that's wrong with our green and pleasant land "sinister burger-tossers in lay-bys". What can he mean? Is it the fact that people may choose burgers that is "sinister"? Or that they are "tossed"? Or that the practice is carried on in lay-bys? I object strongly to this appallingly generalised characterisation. My local "buttie-bar" is clean, serves local produce and award-winning meat and is anything but sinister. Perhaps Andrew Marr has become too accustomed to the hole-in-the-corner, round-the-back-of-the-bikeshed world of Westminster dining to recognise good wholesome food and catering when he comes across it.

Re: the doughnut story. The quote from Judith Denby is quite possibly the most depressing view I have ever heard. "The doughnut industry in the UK is following the US example... doughnuts are very much about breakfast. I like snacks as much as the next person, but promoting doughnuts as a breakfast? What do you wash them down with - Budweiser?
