I’ve spent this week on holiday in Greece. Most days we had lunch in the same taverna. It was straight out of a Greek Tourist Board advert with great food, charming staff and the turquoise sea virtually lapping at your feet. But what I remember most was the bill. It was ridiculously small and came with a bunch of grapes, snipped by the waiter from the vine growing above our heads. Now that’s hospitality. It’s also a breach of food hygiene rules.

If we ever start growing grapes in Scotland, a restaurateur trying the same trick will have to first get them washed and then certified by Environmental Health as fit for human consumption. That might just spoil the magic moment. I’m not suggesting the Greeks are lax when it comes to food hygiene. They may even have regulations on unwashed grapes proffered to the public. However they choose their battles while we stick slavishly to every letter of the law.

Man suffers serious arm injury after being bitten by shark off Cork

Seems the bloke was deep sea fishing, caught a shark and hauled it on to the boat. The shark didn't like it.

I've heard of tickling trout but sharks are a bit more tricky ?
