A. As if being embroiled in a murderous conspiracy was not enough, there is further sadness for Harrods owner Mohammed Fayed. B. This accusation comes from the fact that Mr. Fayed's tinned mince-pie programme has been infiltrated by a batch of rogue Bakewell tarts. C. He has been forced to issue a product-recall notice in top people's paper the Times that may permanently damage his standing as a purveyor of culinary fancies to the aristocracy D. What is irksome about this fact is that Bakewell tarts are a rather common form of sugary comestible; not quite the thing the purchasers of Harrods finest mince pies expect to find for pudding. E. This news came in a full month and a bit after Christmas with the information - Bakewell tarts may contain nuts. F. The obvious implication: that a Traditional Mince Pie with Harrods Brandy and these proletarian old Bakewell tarts are, in fact, made in the same factory.
