SNOPPER SAVED FROM BARBECUE TRIAL

(Our Social Correspondent reports)

Good sense and understanding on the part of his hosts saved Snopper from enduring the uncertainties of his first ever barbecue at a secret location deep in the Kent countryside yesterday afternoon.

Instead of the predicted charred remains of expired animals, a full, proper, traditional Sunday roast was produced, followed by a choice of two `puddings.` Displaying all the social graces for which he is known, Snopper took the chance to sample both, even though one of them (a peach amoretto) contained perhaps just a hint of foreign nationality. The world it seems, could yet indeed be his oyster...were it not for oysters being yet another in a long line of `no-no`s.`
