It can only be a matter of time before the EOD chaps are brought in to dispose of an unexploded haggis.

Meanwhile in London, they are gathering valuable experience by blowing up sandwiches.

A bomb squad blew up a pesto sandwich after being called to investigate a suspicious package at London Bridge.

Officers closed off a busy high street on Sunday afternoon after a brown bag was discovered at a bus stop close to The Shard and London Bridge train station.

After an investigation, police decided to execute a controlled explosion on the package, which splattered pesto and bread across shop windows.

Nothing to see here. Move along please.

Did they use a fire cracker to blow it up? Seems fairly unimpressive, the damage to the sandwich.

I suppose that the art of the controlled explosion is to use as much force as is necessary to render a potential device safe, but not enough to set off a chain reaction.

All the same, as you say, it's not very impressive, is it?
