Sky News once asked for suggestions for the disposal of post-Christmas Dinner sprouts...
One suggestion was that any self-respecting Labrador would scoff the lot.
I rang them to warn that Labradors are well-known fireguards and if anyone risked feeding one with sprouts, they should be careful to ensure that the dog was subsequently moved without delay to a safe distance well away from any open fire.....
Kay Burley could hardly keep a straight face when she read it out on air...
