The Vole -- Bodies in the Cut

Following the recent spate of bodies found floating in canals AV is to start charging for their removal. As one AV executive observed, "If AV is having to play the role of undertaker then we should at least make some money out of it". (The fact that all executives at AV are on profit related pay is nothing to do with it! ....Ed)

A member of the AV marketing team said the rise in suicides etc showed that the awareness of the canal system was growing amongst the general public. At one time only boaters were found in the canals. (Progress of sorts then?.... Ed)
