The Scandal of Candles

The Mail can always be relied on to cover the really important issues of modern life. Today it investigates why modern candles don’t fit into older candlesticks. I know it’s a problem that had been keeping me awake at night and it seems I am not alone.

According to retailers across the country, they are being besieged by irate shoppers demanding to know why they can’t find candles to match their favourite candlesticks.

The answer, The Mail on Sunday can reveal, is a combination of the metric system and a lack of regulation by the Department of Trade and Industry.

It’s a national scandal. Something must be done.

Morons.
