DIARY: Peter and George give food for thought

Such was the quality of entries to our caption competition, which we

launched to accompany this less than fetching shot of Peter York, left,

and George Pitcher, that I may well give up this sordid journalism

malarkey to launch a touring PR vaudeville troupe.

After poring over the entries that came, if not in a flood then in a

vintage trickle, I can reveal that the winner is Macclesfield freelance

PR Gillian Johnston, who brought us the caption: ‘Peter and George have

been staunch supporters of the British beef industry throughout the BSE

crisis’.

A bottle of the frothy stuff is now on its way to Cheshire.
