Matthew Offord MP - Soup Waiter: An Apology

Every Friday, the Barnet Eye produces a Friday joke, in an effort to cheer up and entertain our readers. Following our joke yesterday, I have been contacted by sources close to No 10 Downing Street, who advised me that when Barack Obama attended no 10 Downing Street, President Obama and the Prime Minister David Cameron, hosted a barbeque. As such, no soup was served and their was no need for soup waiters.

This blog is happy to issue the following correction :

The Barnet Eye acknowledges that President Obama and Prime Minister Cameron hosted a bar-b-que during the recent state visit. We are happy to point out that no soup was served and that the hosts are fully acquainted with "proper bar-b-que etiquette", where people walk around eating burnt sausages in buns. Furthermore we are happy to state that Matthew Offord at no time during the event server the president, the prime minister or anyone else with soup.

The Barnet Eye further wishes to state that any blog entitled "The Friday Joke" is just that and should not be taken seriously. If you want to follow Hendon's most famous soup waiter and "part time" MP, we thoroughly recommend his twitter feed - http://twitter.com/#!/HendonMP, and we wish his little doggy Max a speedy recovery from his recent encounter with a bag of rat poison - we like doggies at the Barnet Eye

I hope Max makes a full recovery too, but a naughty part of me wonders if swallowing poison was a cry for help? Can't be easy, being Matthew Offord's dog. Dragged round all those photo opportunities, living in fear of flying mugs and dangerous cupboards ...maybe it;s all got too much for him.
