Complete waste of time, IMO, if it is actually true.
What did they hope to find, a sneaky gram or two in his pocket?


Then what, a fine?

Given the quality of most "showbiz level" sherbet the flour was likely to be of higher purity .

TBF they would have done a chemical test on it, it must have come up fairly strong for them to take it further.

It would always be a £50 note...

After a rather mortifying explanation that all he had was Hungarian currency, the policeman said the business people going to Hungary were increasing being tagged with false positives by police dogs for this very reason.
