A leaked report from Cheshire County Council appears to indicate that the Manchester United and England striker Wayne Rooney has put in a formal application for an allotment within reasonable walking distance of his Cheshire home.
According to local sources though, no matter how interested Wayne Rooney has suddenly become in growing his own leeks, carrots, parsnips, potatoes, and strawberries, it seems he's in for a long wait before he will be allotted an allotment.
The reason for the wait is that the nation faces a shortage of workable allotment space and nobody seems to want to do anything about it. Apart from a few crackpots.
Apparently David Cameron is keeping a close eye on the situation.
More as we get it.
