Belligerent Bulimic Labour Lardball John Prescott (beat that you tabloid headline writers :-) has publicly admitted that he suffered from a serious eating disorder while holding a high office in government.
In confessional moood, Prezza told the press of how he would go a Chinese Restaurant in his constiuency and order every dish on the menu (all on expenses you can be sure.)
While on an assignment based in Hull in the late 1980s I often visited that restaurant and have seen Two Shags in action. He did not just eat his way through the menu, he would also eat the menu, the table linen, the cutlery, the furniture and any waiters not nimble enough to get out of the way.
Then on the way home he would call at the chippy for steak pudding, chips and peas with a fish on top.
Hull City football fans would never sing “who ate all the pies?” The entire town knew the answer.
