There'll always be an England.

Children's presenter Christopher Lillicrap, who is directing Sleeping Beauty at Worthing's Connaught Theatre, said: "How daft can you get?

Not a bad question for a guy named Lillicrap (well, come on, he probably didn't pick it himself).

What Christopher - let's just call him Christopher, OK? - is bitching about is the management of a Worthing, West Sussex, theater's deciding to abort the long-standing custom of throwing candy to children in the audience. "Might make them sick," say the bosses.

"Nanny state gone mad," Christopher insists.

Dodging that particular bullet, the "Preston Playhouse, in Lancs, revealed last week they stopped throwing out sweets - in case children were hit, reports the Sun" (reports Ananova).
