'The education lawyer said: "It was a little bit surprising, I don't think I've ever seen anything like it before - that's for sure."'

That's what Michael Gove has done for us!

I would imagine what happened was that someone instructed that a picture of Michael Gove be printed on the chocolate bar and someone else made a perfectly understandable mistake.

The poor bloke killed by the cop car may have been an innocent passer by.

That's a great relief. My parents lived in Lincolnshire about 18 years ago and I've been worrying about them recently.
