ODD JOB

Brigg town clerk Jeanette Woollard has so many varied duties it would be hard to pen a suitable job description. However, the latest set of town council accounts throw up something new, even for her.
Under the heading Accounts for Payment is the entry:
Mrs J M Woollard - refund purchase of rat poison, £48, plus VAT £8.40.
Just to explain, the council runs allotments in the town and vermin have been proving something of a problem.
Jeanette won't be expected to do any more than purchase the poison!
