The Rumour Mill

27/01/11 -- Unconfirmed reports reaching Nogger Towers suggest that a load of milling wheat bound for a well-known mill on the south coast was rejected this week for containing a live spaniel!

Said canine had accidentally got scooped up and loaded onto the lorry collecting the grain at a farm in the Basingstoke area, I am told. He arrived relatively unscathed, if a tad "rough around the edges" and was given a drink of water and subsequently returned home with the rejected wheat incurring the farmer a GBP500 debt for a wasted journey to boot.

I have no idea how true this is, but I'd just love it if it was true and the dog was called ergot.
