Lancaster police launch search for person who sprayed dog faeces with pink paint Police are investigating after dog faeces were sprayed pink in a Lancaster alleyway.

YOUR POEMS
Coffee and cake by Annie Thompson
It's coffee time,
It's that time of day.
11 o'clock and l am peckish.
So coffee and cake it is, that'll do the trick.
I am spoilt for choice.
Lemon drizzle cake, Victoria cream sponge cake, strawberry cream scones, chocolate brownies or lovely sausage rolls.
Oh, my, it's so hard to choose.
Shall I have one of each as 1 really like all of these?
O don't be greedy, Annie.
OK, just one cake and a coffee, that'll do the trick.
Till lunchtime comes around.
" Shall I have those other cakes and sausage rolls?"
