Man claims it ‘impossible’ to buy metal tablespoon in home city - and offers £50 to anyone who can find one

A local man has found it “impossible” to find a metal tablespoon anywhere in Bath. David Andrews detailed his troubles upon scouring high and low for the piece of cutlery in a letter to the Bath Chronicle.

Despite visits to multiple shops, David was left empty handed. Such was his belief that Bath had a bizarre absence of metal tablespoons, he even offered a £50 charity reward to anyone who could find one.

"Here is a challenge to all your readers! Or maybe it is the sort of thing that Ralph Oswick might find compelling enough to investigate. It is impossible to buy a metal tablespoon anywhere in Bath,” wrote Mr Andrews.
