Mr Smith read with bemusement the "interest" disclosures by the Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) in a Political Guide produced by one of Scotland's most widely read magazines, Holyrood.
Amongst them was the extract for Liberal Democrat Jamie Stone MSP who discloses his leisure interests as "singing, gardening, golf, reading, classical music, British butterflies, and edible funghi." Now Mr Smith is amazed that any MSP can fit all of these in to their busy schedules, but the last one stands out. After all, isn't the secret to growing mushrooms said to be keeping them in the dark and feeding them s**t. This has a lot in common with the black arts of politics, especially in the Liberal Democrats.
At least Jamie's mushrooms aren't of the "magic" variety.
