It
is a rare privilege to be able to introduce a major creative talent
to the wider world but such is your editor's privilege today.
Yes,
truly up you could not make it as we retail here the recent court
case of postman William Harvey.
Mr
Harvey, appearing before the Sheriff in Perth on a drunk driving
charge told the court that he had a rare medical condition, similar
to a pelican "balloon" pouch, that meant he regurgitated
alcohol back into to his throat due to a "panic attack."
Mr
Harvey argued that this was a very rare condition as was confirmed
by an expert witness called by The Crown to give evidence. Said
expert witness told the court that he had never seen a case like
William's in 40 years as a forensic toxicologist.
Unfortunately
for Mr Harvey, the Sheriff trying the case took the view that Mr
Harvey's (ahem) "explanation" was , to use the legal term,
"a load of jackanory" and fined and banned the postman
from driving.
It
is thought that Mr Harvey may appeal, calling in support on evidence
given by Jess, a black and white cat that only he can see.
