Hamish Macdonell - toast on trial
HOT news (literally) from the Scottish Parliament canteen.
Canteen staff have suffered from complaints for years that the one product they do not serve is toast.
The problem, apparently, has been that toasters would set off the fire alarms if they were used.
Now though, there has been a breakthrough and the fire alarms have been upgraded hopefully to an extent that they can differentiate between toast and a real fire.
The first slices will be trialled on Thursday. If anyone passing by the parliament sees everyone waiting outside and the alarms wailing, they will know the trial hasn't worked.
