Dear DMC

Many dull men find garlic somewhat alarming and will be reassured by this news. (I quite like the stuff but promise not to mention it again.)

Dear Steve

Garlic disquised as onions. What will theives think of next?

Although in this instance the tax collected was only €180,000, there apparently more at stake — estimated to be €1,000,000.
