Lucozade and Ray-Bans top MSP wishlist

ALEX Salmond, the First Minister, has revealed that he wants a year's supply of Lucozade for Christmas.

The revelation appeared in a Christmas wishlist of MSPs in the Big Issue. Scottish Labour leader Iain Gray said he wants the new style Ray-Ban sunglasses worn recently by Barack Obama, while Scottish Lib Dem leader Tavish Scott wants Liverpool to win the Premier League. Among more bizarre requests are a chimpanzee (Margaret Mitchell), a chocolate factory (Margo MacDonald) and a Star Trek phaser-gun (Willie Coffey).
