Egyptian Wheat Trade Not Bent - Pinocchio

Accusations that the Egyptian wheat trade is as bent as a fiddlers elbow have already been angrily refuted by Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Archer.

Now, in a move that's shaken the whole of Toytown to it's very foundations, Pinocchio has thrown hit hat into the ring to defend the honour and integrity of the Egyptian wheat trade.

"I'm throwing my hat into the ring to defend the honour and integrity of the Egyptian wheat trade," he said at a packed Cairo press conference.

"The Egyptian wheat trade is not as bent as a nine bob note. You have my word on that. And you can bank my word. When do I get the money?" he was heard to say before being whisked away by officials.
