The Fact Compiler has received the following amusing anecdote from a reader:
En route to Wirksworth a colleague catches an EMT service from Luton. Being late in the day, he seeks refreshment from the buffet. On offer is "Soup and a baguette".
Passenger: "Soup please".
Steward: "Sorry sir, we can't sell you the soup this evening"
Passenger: "Why not?"
Steward: "We're out of baguettes."
The Fact Compiler doesn't know whether to compliment EMT staff on their honesty or cry.
