When we were up in Bolton, the BEN used to print the outcome of all the court cases. One day they had to print an apology after a number of cases, mainly for non-payment of TV licences or the like, erroneously contained the phrase "forfeit cannabis" ;)

Yeah that would be it :ranting2:

Kiki Musampa, doesn't have a brother called Kris Musampa.

If you read the name quickly, surprisingly enough it comes out as Christmas Hamper
