.......Snopper`s hair appointment gets cancelled, that`s what, our Fashion Editor reports.

It has been revealed this morning that the indisposition that prevented ace crimper Chris of Larkfield from seeing to Snopper`s follicle needs on Tuesday was.....food poisoning.

A period of intense diplomatic activity has persuaded Chris to `fit him in` for a revised appointment next Monday lunchtime, when a reciprocal exchange of recent medical experiences will doubtless take place. Should make for a fascinating interlude.

Following representations from the Press Complaints Commission, it seems that further fashion reports on this whole matter are unlikely.
