Rodolphhus Lestrange: Other: Nor Fish Nor Fowl Nor Good Red Herring
From the Kent Chronicle
In a not entirely unexpected development, the Thanet District Council today announced the resignation of the three member rubbish removal committee in the wake of the disastrous ‘rain of fish’ that has plagued the city since summer. Herschel Daulton, Mary Worth, and Charles Warren all cited exhaustion as the main reason for their leaving. “It was a bloody nightmare,” Daulton told this reporter. “Not just the fish you know, but the cats and rats and bugs that came along in the aftermath. And the squabbling over the money didn’t help. My Gran was on the Council during the war and I’d be hard pressed to say who had the worst of it. I don’t think any of us will be able to eat fish and chips again.” No special election is planned to fill the vacancies; the executive committee will assume the duties of the rubbish removal committee, pending naming other council members to the seats. Final tallies are not yet available, but it is estimated that the total cost of the clean-up will run in excess of £ 20,000.
