There's much fun to be had from this story, which I first heard on London 94.9 this morning.
First, there's the BBC strapline, which reads:
Surgeon suspended over soup claim
which conjures up an image of a quack dangling over a large cauldron of streaming leek and potato soup. Then there's the fact that The Daily Mail can get so much mileage out of the fact that a neurosurgeon earning £80,000 might just have snaffled an extra helping of croutons for his lunch without paying for them. No Pulitzer Prize winner this, but it made me chuckle.
