The un-kindest cut of all was. that on hearing that those responsible were to clean up the mess, a number of the more quick-witted among us piled their carefully-hoarded rubbish on to the pavements of the Capital City. This "ill-conceived Jest" [The Evening Post] had backfired because of its success.
