If shops won’t unwrap it voluntarily, they should have to take the rap

RAPPERS such as Mos Def, dead prez and Schoolly D have their function as exponents of modern rhythms and music, though they would not be my cup of tea.

Less functional, though, are many of the wrappers we see in our shops and supermarkets.

A few months ago, I was intrigued at the picture of a swede on the front page of a British newspaper. The photo was about one foot square and showed the hapless swede completely cloaked in cellophane wrapping.
