Five Go Mad in Scarborough

ONCE again the time has come for the column to become Nomadic for a few days. Our annual pilgrimage to the spas of North Yorkshire is upon us. As is the custom on such occasions we will however be on the trail of any snippets or tidbits that we can report to our reader on our return.

The bendouin tribe set to embark Enid Blyton like on this year's adventure includes the newly wed Philippa Hudson who has packed his caravan and foresaken his new bride (above all others - apparently) in favour of a week plying his trade on the North Yorkshire coastline.

We are told - confidentially of course - that following our recent revelations, Hudson the Younger is threatening all manner of retribution against the column. To be forewarned is to be forearmed, as they say. We await the outcome with bated breath and will of course update our reader on any developments.
