Lord’s purple carpet for Prince

When you read about celebrities being “spotted”, here’s where the tip-off comes from. PR company Keep Left advises that superstar Prince will go to Lord of the Fries in Fitzroy for a vegetarian burger. There’s no chance customers can ask him for a chip because the store will be closed for his highness. And to salute the singer of “Purple Rain” purple sauce may be whipped up. Voted the “world’s sexiest” vegetarian in 2006 by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Princes respects patties in buns. It’s a regal time for the bread industry because it’s the 250^th anniversary of the Earl of Sandwich inventing the sanga.
