Traffic was held up at London’s Marble Arch yesterday when a lorry overturned and scattered thousands of whiskey bottles over the road. But not a drop was spilled - the bottles were empty.

The vegetable situation is still grim with greens very poor. Old potatoes are 6d a lb, sprouts are 10d, leeks 1s 6d, old carrots 1s, swedes 8d and mushrooms 1s 6d a quarter.
