Well, Thank Heaven For Small Mercies...!

Two supermarkets in Gloucestershire were surrounded by police after a man walked in and sprayed what is thought to be urine over meat, salad and fruit.

"It is alleged that a man was spraying a foul-smelling substance, thought to be urine, on the foodstuffs, including the salad bar, fruits and meat," said a police spokeswoman.

"The device he was using is described as a kind of tube. Clearly this is a very unusual incident. A man has been arrested and a full investigation is under way," she added.
