He's now been fined for littering. I like how the Glos Echo think that this story is famous enough to refer to it as 'THAT KFC meal'...

That's subeditors for you. They take your perfectly crafted copy, hack it to pieces so it fits the space and deliver the shreds to the printers and setters. The rest gets sent back to you soaked in your own tears.

I jest of course - there are no subeditors in churnalism any more.
