Trouble with the dogs

Good to see a portrait of the late Robin Cook unveiled and especially good to see it feature his dogs. Seeing the picture reminded How Ridiculous of the following story.

The former Foreign Secretary was once walking along the Mall with his dogs. As he happened to pass Clarence House, their leads became entwined.

Turning to the person next to them a member of The Queen Mother's household commented: 'He can't even walk the dogs properly.'
