Saturday News Review: Delayed Doherty Hit by Bagels

When delays hit your weekend plans, it's usually of the kind associated with leaves on the line or the wrong kind of snow, logistical and timing issues we Brits are so used to.

But for Babyshambles star Pete Doherty, being somewhat different, it was the raging battle between New York Bagels and Morrison's own brand that proved so costly during his weekly shop.

With the own brand staging a demonstration against the New York Bagels, who refused to yield their space on the shelf in the bakery section, Doherty was forced to abandon his basket containing sugar, salt, talc, coke, self-raising flour and a copy of Take A Break, whom it's believed is offfering £150 for his true life story, after a dozen bagels pushed him aside in an effort to join the battle, leaving him badly shaken.

"Taking Pete shopping was all part of his ongoing rehabilitation process," stated a close friend, sadly. "I fear this little episode will set him back months."
