A senior spokes person from the South Bemused Hospital For The Particularly Unwell, (SBHFTPU), today reported that Lord Mandelson was 'comfortable' and in 'high spirits' after it was revealed that he had a 'Post Office' like growth protruding from one of his lower extremities.
The spokes person went on to explain that the growth itself was not causing Lord Mandelson any kind of pain, but the hoards of pensioners queuing about his person each morning was a little annoying and did rather spoil breakfast.
Surgeons from the South Bemused Hospital For The Particularly Unwell, (SBHFTPU), were today confident that Lord Mandelson's, 'Post Office', like growth would be successfully removed in a routine operation scheduled for early next week.
An elderly lady leaving Lord Mandelson's Post Office, when asked what she thought of the situation, was quoted as saying;
"Closing this Post Office? It's disgusting! Now I shall have to travel on the bus to that crap hole Vagham to collect my pension, from the one growing from Lord Buckwheat's arse"
