Anyone in the vicinity of the Old Steine cannot fail to have noticed that the Udderbelly tent is legless.

The udders on the upturned purple cow tent have also remained uninflated over the past couple of days.

But fans of the tent need not worry.

Udderbelly spokeswoman Penny Sims assured us: "The cow is not unwell and it has not been hit by a plane."

The problem has been caused by the unseasonably high winds which have been battering the coast since the weekend.

"We hope to re-inflate again once the weather calms down," said Ms Sims.

Speaking of the Udderbelly, celebrity watchers may be interested to hear that Heather Mills McCartney was spotted at the Udderbelly launch last Friday.
