Work experience tales two: Topless shopping in Sevenoaks

By Dominic wireposts

Roger Kasper, editor of the Sevenoaks Chronicle, has got in touch with another tale about adventures in work experience – following yesterday’s story about journalism student Chris Slater who had to ride into Tesco on a bicycle for The Sun.

When the Tesco superstore in Sevenoaks put up a notice telling customers to wear a shirt when they shopped, Roger decided to send in work experience trainee Matt Savage to test it out.

Explains Roger: “Off he went to get thrown out of Tesco, but served in Marks and Spencer, Co-op and Sainsbury’s. And a great feature was had by all. Ladies, check out his pecs.”

And this on one of the coldest winters on record! Somebody please give that lad a job.
