The Ballad of Barbara's BagIt's just one drama after another in our office. "Stick your head in my handbag will you?" was the bizarre request from my producer Barbara this afternoon. Was tomorrow's Daily Record going to carry a "BBC presenter suffocated in producer's handbag" story or were scented handbags the new, new thing.
Turns out that she had leaked the contents of her tuna salad lunch into the aforementioned bag and wanted me to check out the damage. It was not good news for her, or indeed anyone else who had to work in the vicinity of the bag.
Still, she managed to salvage her mobile phone after giving it a thorough going over with an antiseptic handwipe.
The moral of this tale is - if you are going to take lunch to work always make sure you have appropriate Tupperware. You wouldn't want to end up with a fishy handbag would you?
