Cute gimmick

Noted Irish writer O. Wilde has had his British Library reading room card reinstated after 130 years. It was revoked when he was convicted of being a homosexualist.
    Not that the gesture will do him any good as he has been dead for 125 years.

No Way!

Turkey has wasted 2 years trying to force the EFU to accept its rules for kebabs and give the name the equivalent of a trade mark. Fierce opposition in Germany, which has a high population of Turkish immigrants, and Austria has saved the day for the tens of thousands of shops which sell unapproved versions across the EFU. Including kebabs made with turkey and veal.
