British Parliament Scandal Widens

If you haven't been paying attention to news from the U.K., some members of Parliament have come under fire in the last week for taking liberties with their expense accounts, including hedge-trimming, moat-clearing(!), and tennis-court repairs at their homes. Who knew there would be a pizza angle, though?

One member of Parliament bought so much in the upscale food section of the department store Marks & Spencer that he got a free pizza wheel.

Blimey!

That is a stunning photograph. Kudos to Maurice.

The real scandal is if he made pizza with sweetcorn on it--a horror I witnessed on many occasion in the UK.

M&S were offering a free pizza wheel if you bought two of their ready-made pizzas. The total spend would have been about £7. I had one...it broke after a few weeks.

I agree about the sweetcorn, though...we Brits just don't know how to use it. It doesn't belong on pizza, and it sure as hell doesn't belong in tuna mayo sandwiches.
