Whooshmeat Scandal !

As you know, Whooshmeat is a fine delicacy and one of my favourite meals.

I particularly enjoy a Whooshmeat lasagne.

Imagine my horror, therefore, to discover that the Whooshmeat lasagne produced by Find Us (if you can) has been found to have been contaminated with up to 100% beef !

It is wholly improper that the Homeward public are presented with a product marked Whooshmeat when it contains a ­significant amount of beef.

The evidence so far suggests it’s either criminal activity or gross negligence.

I decided to telephone the secretive Find Us (if you can) food conglomerate and demand to see a representative of the firm, immediately.

The phone rang and rang and eventually was answered by a very uncouth sounding voice. "Yes, what you want !" it screeched. "This is Uncle, I demand that you come to my office and answer the allegations that your Whooshmeat Lasagne contains beef!"

"Oh, old lardy elephant is it" he replied "Well, I'll have you know that we are far too busy to answer your absurd questions about these spurious rumours - our food is lovely and their is certainly no food safety problem here!"

"In that case," I responded "you will have no fear of an immediate inspection by the Badgertown Police!"

"Look, no need for that, mate - our chief will pop over, just to reassure you like" wheedled the voice on the line.

That afternoon, a rather uncouth bearded man turned up at my office.

"Look, mate, what happened is this. There was this cow was walking by the vat where we churn up the Whooshmeat and it slipped and fell in. Simple as that - just an accident. Won't happen again, I assure you." he declared.

This did not allay my suspicions - I let the man leave, but instructed my detective, A.B.Fox, to follow him.

He soon reported back "As you suspected, Sir, false beard, Hateman in disguise, returned to Badfort. Large factory full of Beef !"

Once again, the Badfort Crowd proved to be indulging in their usual criminal activity.
