Mayor has done a lot for town
To add insult to injury, you decide to splash this incident across the front page.
Give them a break! Mr Atkins had the decency to apologise and explained that he was suffering from a heavy cold and his wife was taking medication following a stroke.

I am sure he is not the first mayor to doze off at a theatrical performance and he won't be the last.
Perhaps, if any future holder of this office attends a similar function whilst suffering from a cold, he or she should warn those in charge that they might drop off and if so, no offence is intended.
