Particularly as I misread it as 'Lords carrying Cadbury's chocolate eggs worth approx £70k stolen', begging the question as to whether it was the lords or the eggs that were worth that much...

Perhaps there was a misunderstanding and they too were after chocolate. Keeping up with the Joneses, as it were.

Actually, that made me smile as well. Which given my mood, is pretty good going. Thank you.

Okay, that one doesn't totally work as they're chocolate. Right.


- Police say they're working hard to crack it.

- Suspect is described as white, fluffy, with long ears.

- 'We have a two month deadline before they go all chalky on the outside,' says Police spokesman.

- Police have instigated stop and search powers to be used on anyone with a really messy mouth in the area.

No no they were good! I liked "police say they are working hard to crack it" the best!
