It’s no yolk when good food is thrown away.

A lout who threw eggs at a first floor window in Honiton last night (Sunday) has been given some words of advice from the householder.

The Westcott Way resident says: “Next time, I suggest you put the cost of the eggs towards a copy of The Big Issue or send the money to a charity.

“The cost of a few eggs may save a child’s life in some poor country overseas.”

The resident, who does not wish to be named, added: “I hope you never find yourself starving on the street after you’ve thrown away good food.”
