Cornershop Jibe Sparks Racism Row

Now this is a great story!

TWO men have lodged a complaint of racism against a top Coventry supermarket after being quizzed about a pile of cakes.

The pair say that when they bought £32 worth of muffins, fairycakes and flapjacks from the Morrisons supermarket in Holyhead Road, the manager wanted to know if they were planning to sell them "in their corner shop".

In fact, Moomie Choudhury and Divyesh Patel both work for an internet bank in Coventry city centre and bought the cakes to sell to workmates to raise money for Comic Relief.

They raised £1,000 for the TV appeal.

I'm conflicted about this. Part of me recognises that this seems to be an unfair and racist comment by the store manager. Another part of me just finds it downright hilarious.
