Hilarious cautionary tale about food hygiene - or the lack of it.

"Don't pick your nose," says a chef to his young kitchen-hand, "it is so very dirty." A man falls victim to near-fatal food poisoning, and there's no shortage of suspects. The food factory he works at, where the girls on the production line sneeze and toss their hair over the cream buns. The local restaurant, where flies and mice roam the kitchens and cutlery stands in rancid water. The butcher who handles a dog and a cat before preparing the meat (while wearing a bloody bandage). The barmaid who polishes a dirty glass with a licked finger. Even the victim's wife, whose kitchen is a paradise for germs...

The story of Albert Norris, a "typical" sufferer from food poisoning, is told
in a series of flash-backs illustrating the various ways he might have been
affected during the 24 hours before he was admitted to hospital.
