As Broughton grows giddy with excitement over the final positioning of the Edinburgh Olympic bling-rings – Will they appear on the Mansfield or Picardy Place roundabouts? At the top of the Nelson Monument or on the front of Lyon & Turnbull? – a Spurtle correspondent has reported the appearance in local shops of Bassett’s ‘tie-in’ Jelly Mascots.

Parent company Cadbury UK describe themselves as ‘passionate about making great products’, but in this case we fear they may have gone too far.

All natural ingredients, we applaud, especially in performance-enhancing sport-food supplements of this sort. And spinach, for Popeye-like strength, is clearly a good idea. But concentrated extract of stinging nettle?

Can it have something to do with the training maxim 'No pain, no gain'?
