"Councillors in Totnes are considering re-covering their furniture with plastic instead of leather in case it offends vegetarians.
Officials in the town, which has been referred to as Devon's answer to Glastonbury, put forward proposals to renew the peeling desks in the 16th century guildhall with plastic at a cost of £450, claiming it was cheaper and "vegetarian friendly".

F*ck vegetarians.

To be honest, it's more about busy-bodies at the council than owt else if you ask me. An offended vegetarian should probably have a word with themselves though.

it should be written in small board/tag at the leather furniture "We don't eat furniture" instead...

Best sports writers tbf.

Henry Winter is excellent. Does Sue Mott still write for them though? She's as gash as her name suggests.

[ChezGiven]

Not sure about sue mott but the paper is worth it for Henry Winter alone. In fact their coverage of cricket is excellent too.

Disgraceful politics though.

I wonder if they're ever actually had any complaints, I doubt it somehow.

I'm all for offending vegetarians. Well, fundamentalist vegetarians anyway. So I'd be lobbying for leather AND fur trimmings...with some nice stuff animal heads on mahogany boards lining the walls.

[OzzieMandias]

Well, I'm a vegetarian and leather upholstery doesn't bother me in the least. Shouldn't imagine it bothers many other people either.

We've heard all the "jokes" before. You'll just come across as a boring tit.

I don't really give a toss. I was just pointing out that it was a bit pathetic.

Lack of meat makes you touchy!
