Alarm belles

IN the mountain of papers produced by the European Parliament is one listing visiting groups

IN the mountain of papers produced by the European Parliament is one listing visiting groups. MEPs who read the list last week began to quake when they saw that one group of 41 people was arriving from St Trinian's girls' school, Nimby.

No MEP's name was given as sponsor. It is assumed that a slot became vacant and a member with a sense of humour saw his opportunity.
