The cost of imperialism

Our fave quirky story from the weekend papers comes from the Atticus column in the Sunday Times in which the writer waxes lyrical about the ‘cost of imperialism’ at Stormont.

According to the column the high cost of imperialism continues to be felt at Stormont – at least in the gift shop where a small box if mint imperials will set you back £1.94.  For this you get 13 sweets which as the columnist points out is ‘one for each day the union jack is permitted to fly from the building.’

Now that’s a tasty wee yarn. Boom, boom.
