Man wanted in connection with sexual assault in West Bridgford - Nottingham Evening Post

THIS man is wanted in connection with an alleged sexual assault on a woman in West Bridgford.

The 43-year-old victim was walking along the Grantham Canal footpath behind the Morrisons store at the Gamston District Centre when the incident happened.

  1. Do you recognise this man?

A man is reported to have punched her in the face and knocked her to the floor, before subjecting her to a sexual assault.

She was able to scream and fight back, which caused him to run off towards Morrisons.

She was left bruised and extremely shaken by the ordeal.

Police have generated an e-fit, pictured, of the suspect.

He is described as white, aged 28 to 35, of a medium build and about 6ft tall. He was wearing stonewash blue jeans and a blue t-shirt.

His hair was brown in a grown-out crew cut style and he had stubble on his face. He may also have suffered scratch and bite marks to his hands and face.

Police patrols have been increased in the vicinity in response to the incident, though there have been no further incidents of this nature reported in the area.

If you recognise the man, or have any information about the attack, contact Nottinghamshire Police on 101, quoting incident 904 of 25 July 2012, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Sussex Beer and Cider Festival judges go wild for Kissingate Brewery mild - thisissussex.co.uk

A BREWERY which started life in a Maidenbower garage has been named the producer of the best beer in Sussex.

Gary and Bunny Lucas launched Kissingate Brewery from their home in Drury Close in 2009, after Gary was made redundant and decided to fulfil a lifelong dream by making his own ales professionally.

  4. TOP TIPPLE: Gary and Bunny Lucas celebrate one of their creations being named the county's best beer

Three years on and the couple have just been presented with the Bev Robbins Trophy, for the best beer at the Sussex Beer and Cider Festival.

The winning beer was Mary's Ruby Mild – a 6.5 per cent ale described as "silky smooth with a port-like nose".

A Campaign for Real Ale representative visited the brewery on Saturday to hand over the award.

"The journey has been staggering," said Gary.

"We haven't even reached our third anniversary yet so to get this accolade is beyond our wildest dreams.

"It is quite rare to find mild ales these days so to win this award with our own version makes it doubly special."

The 54-year-old had brewed his own home ale as a hobby for several years before turning it into a business.

He told the News: "During my career in the printing industry I was made redundant five times and I was becoming fed up with the situation.

"I decided that rather than struggling to find myself a new job I would set up something myself that I had an interest in."

The husband and wife team soon outgrew their garage and have now converted a barn in Lower Beeding into their own state-of-the-art brewery.

Bunny, 50, said: "We wanted to stay close to our roots and remain in Crawley but there just wasn't a suitable location."

Kissingate Brewery gets its name from a beauty spot marked with an iron gate to form the boundary between the Three Bridges Corn Mill and Cinder Path, which led into Maidenbower.

It now produces 14 different beers and was named the best new business at this year's Gatwick Diamond Business Awards.

Mary's Ruby Mild was created in memory of an eccentric Crawley woman who was affectionately known as Mad Mary.

Sheila Snelling lived in Trefoil Crescent, Broadfield until she died in 1995, and has her own online appreciation page.

Gary chose to pay tribute to her with a beer – the second one he brewed.

He said: "Sheila was a drifter and as children we would see her roaming the streets.

"She was most definitely a Crawley character that everyone of a certain age will remember.

"Many stories have been told about Sheila and during her life she did not get the respect she deserved.

"I gave this beer the tag line 'treat with the greatest respect' with a double meaning in mind – both for this being a stronger mild ale and because of Sheila."

The beer can be found in The Brewery Shades and The Swan in Crawley.

Sussex Police ask 500 recruits to try again - The Argus.co.uk

Sussex Police ask 500 recruits to try again

Hundreds of potential police recruits will have to reapply for jobs after a recruitment freeze is lifted.

About 500 successful candidates received letters from Sussex Police in the autumn of 2010 telling them their applications were on hold and they had been put on a waiting list after the force revealed it had to make £52 million of cuts in five years.

After putting their lives on hold for two years, bosses have now confirmed they will ditch the waiting list when recruitment reopens.

This means those who applied for jobs will be competing for a restricted number of positions on lower salaries and will have to have more qualifications when reapplying.

The announcement was revealed in a circular newsletter to officers and staff in the force which has been seen by The Argus.

In a question and answer section, one disgruntled officer highlighted the “enormous cost” already spent on recruiting the pool of 500 and challenged bosses’ claims the new recruitment process would lead to a more efficient service.

A spokesman for Sussex Police said it was unable to provide a cost of recruiting and any training adding this was “not significant” compared with the desire to get the best people for the job.

The anonymous police officer said: “Those candidates have already demonstrated that they have the potential to become police officers.

“It is likely that over the last couple of years they will have gained life experiences and maturity that can only benefit everyone.”

Adrian Rutherford, the force’s head of human resources, said: “We want the very best people to join.

“Policing has changed and when we reopen recruitment this will be a revamped process.

“We believe that after at least three years, the most effective way of doing this is to start the process afresh and we hope that those who have been interested in the past will still be enthusiastic about joining.

“It also open up the opportunity to many more people who have become eligible during that time.”

Mr Rutherford added about 30 of the 500 recruits would start work in Spring 2013. He added these were the furthest along the recruitment process and had achieved the highest marks on tests.

It comes amid claims that crime detection rates have suffered since the force began reducing the number of frontline police.

Meanwhile the force has said it needs to spend up to £140,500 in total on recruiting five spin doctors to maintain their “popular website”, teach officers how to use Twitter and sell the idea of cuts to workers.

Sussex revises county aiport business rules - Delaware Wave

GEORGETOWN ---- Sussex County has revised its rules for businesses setting up shop at the county airport, setting minimum standards for the businesses it hopes there will be tenants and employers.

"This is not meant to stifle competition; in fact, to encourage it," said James A. Hickin, the manager of the Sussex County Airport. "This is to make a level playing field for everybody. It helps to prevent unfair competition."

The new rules set basic service standards for the companies that serve private pilots at the airport. They mandate, for example, that any company offering refueling keep at least one 10,000-gallon gas tank at the airport and stay open at least eight hours a day. Any air charter or air taxi service must have a waiting area and restroom for customers, and its instructors must be Federal Aviation Administration-certified.

In most cases, the standards call for just one employee certified in the work the business does, although the county encourages companies to exceed the standards if they can. The rules also compel businesses to obtain one or several $1 million insurance policies, depending on the work they do.

The rules, adopted by Sussex County Council on Tuesday, come amid ramped-up public spending on the airport to expand its longest runway from 5,000 to 5,500 feet, part of a plan by the county to rely on the airport as a main driver of economic development. An eventual extension to 6,000 feet would allow a major employer based at the airport, PATS Aircraft, to offer repair services to larger planes, up to a fully-fueled, 178-foot-long Boeing 757. Last year, the FAA agreed to pay nearly all of the cost of the first 500-foot extension, and groundbreaking on that project will start in mid-August.

On Monday, the Delaware Department of Transportation announced it was awarded a $148,000 federal grant to develop a business plan for the airport and write an economic impact study of aviation development statewide.

Frankel set for Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood - BBC News

Unbeaten Frankel will seek a 12th straight win as he bids to defend his Sussex Stakes title at Glorious Goodwood on Wednesday.

The colt is rated about a 1-16 shot by bookmakers to see off his three rivals.

His trainer, Sir Henry Cecil, enjoyed an opening day festival double.

Cecil is having cancer treatment and is unable to attend this week, but Frankel's brother Noble Mission took the Gordon Stakes in a photo finish and Chachamaidee won the Lennox Stakes.

Frankel's previous wins

  • 13 Aug 2010, Newmarket - bt Nathaniel by 1/2 length
  • 10 Sep 2010, Doncaster - bt Rainbow Springs by 13 lengths
  • 25 Sep 2010, Ascot, Royal Lodge Stakes - bt Klammer by 10 lengths
  • 16 Oct 2010, Newmarket Dewhurst Stakes - bt Roderic O'Connor by 2¼ lengths
  • 16 Apr 2011, Newbury, Greenham Stakes - bt Excelebration by 4 lengths
  • 30 Apr 2011, Newmarket, 2000 Guineas - bt Dubawi Gold by 6 lengths
  • 14 Jun 2011, Ascot, St James's Palace Stakes - bt Zoffany by ¾ length
  • 27 Jul 2011, Goodwood, Sussex Stakes - bt Canford Cliffs by 5 lengths
  • 15 Oct 2011, Ascot, Queen Elizabeth II Stakes - bt Excelebration by 4 lengths
  • 19 May 2012 Newbury, Lockinge Stake s - bt Excelebration by 5 lengths
  • 19 June 2012, Ascot, Queen Anne Stakes - bt Excelebration by 11 lengths

Frankel, the world's top-rated racehorse, beat Canford Cliffs by five lengths in last year's Sussex Stakes.

Opposition on Wednesday includes Godolphin's four-year-old Farhh, third in the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot and second in the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown last time.

Stablemate and pacemaker Bullet Train, and Richard Fahey's Gabrial, who stepped up from handicap company to finish fifth in the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot, are the only other runners.

Mark Johnston, seven times leading trainer at the prestigious Goodwood meeting, claimed an impressive victory in the opening race of the week as new jockey Darren Egan picked up the pace two furlongs out to win by two-and-a-half lengths on Landaman.

Cecil then secured the Gordon Stakes for the second time - the first was way back in 1983 when Lester Pigott rode John French.

Encke, ridden by Mickael Barzalona, appeared to have the race won on the rails, but Tom Queally pressed Noble Mission and edged the photograph by a nose, with favourite Michelangelo third.

The Richard Hannon-Richard Hughes partnership was looking for a third win in five years in the Lennox Stakes over seven furlongs, but finished a length and a half adrift in second as Chachamaidee powered through the field.

Clerk of the Course Seamus Buckley was pleased with the first day of the festival and expects Wednesday to be just as successful.

Frankel wins 11th consecutive race at Royal Ascot

"The trainers and the jockeys are happy and say that the course rode extremely well," he said.

"We won't be doing anything out of the ordinary before racing tomorrow apart from getting the course all walked back and levelled. We're hopeful of another dry day tomorrow following a dry night so it looks like we'll still be racing on good ground tomorrow."

Ladies' Day on Thursday features the Goodwood Cup over two miles, won last year by Frankie Dettori on Opinion Poll, who was second to Dettori and Colour Vision in this year's Gold Cup at Royal Ascot.

There are currently 43 horses entered for the Goodwood Mile on Friday, with John Gosden-trained four-year-old Trade Commissioner highly regarded after completing successive wins over the distance in the Challenge Handicap at Sandown.

Hoof It, owned by golfer Lee Westwood and agent Chubby Chandler, has withdrawn from Saturday's Stewards' Cup.

James Fanshawe's Hallelujah, third in the Summer Stakes at York last time, has been at the head of the market for some time and is still in contention for a start.

Also on the final day is the Group One Nassau Stakes, won for the last three years by Cecil's Midday, who has since been retired.

Timepiece is Cecil's offering this year, while Gosden has strong contenders in Izzi Top and The Fugue.

Match fixing causes badminton chaos - Reuters UK

Match fixing causes badminton chaos - Reuters UK

LONDON | Tue Jul 31, 2012 11:06pm BST

LONDON (Reuters) - The London Olympics badminton tournament was thrown into chaos on Tuesday after opposing teams in two separate women's doubles matches both appeared determined to lose their final preliminary group matches, prompting organisers to launch a probe.

Spectators at Wembley Arena jeered China's world champion doubles pair Yu Yang and Wang Xiaoli, and South Korean duo Jung Kyung-eun and Kim Ha-na as all four players took turns at missing routine shots to concede points in the match, prompting disquiet from the crowd at Wembley Arena.

A technical delegate told Reuters tournament organisers had formed a review panel to investigate the match and held out the threat of serious sanctions.

Moments after the review was confirmed, the match between South Korea's Ha Jung-eun and Kim Min-jing and Indonesian pair Greysia Polii and Meiliana Jauhari also descended into farce as the teams played out the same scenario.

A tournament referee came onto the court and appeared to disqualify both pairs of opponents in the second match, but the team's coaches implored to be allowed another chance.

The match was played out with the referee watching intently for any repeat of the behaviour and the South Koreans won 18-21 21-14 21-12.

All teams involved had already qualified for the quarter-finals, though South Korea head coach Sung Han-kook pointed the finger at the Chinese team.

The result of the first match means China's world champion duo will only meet the country's number two pair if both teams reach the final.

"The Chinese started this. They did it first," an ashen-faced Sung told reporters through an interpreter. "It's a complicated thing with the draws. They didn't want to meet each other in the semi-final."

Sung said after the Chinese set the precedent, the South Korean pair in the second match deliberately emulated the Chinese tactic because they did not want to face their team mates in the quarter-finals.

"Because they don't want to play the semi-final against each other, so we did the same. We didn't want to play the South Korean team again," he said.

"They (the BWF) should do something about (the format)."

REVIEW PROMISED

Paisan Rangsikitpho, a technical delegate at the tournament, told Reuters before the second match that there would be a review and held out disqualification from the tournament as a potential maximum punishment.

"We will have a real discussion tonight to see what has happened," he told Reuters.

"If it's true what I hear, this is a shame and I don't like it. And I'm not going to accept anything that I don't like at all. It's not in a good spirit.

"It is (embarrassing) at the Games. I apologise to the public, I apologise for everyone and I am not happy.

"If we have to stay up all night, we will have a serious meeting."

Fans booed as shuttle-cocks were hit long in both matches with serves dumped into the net.

China's Yu claimed she and her partner were just trying to conserve their strength for the knockout rounds.

"Actually these opponents really were strong. This is the first time we've played them and tomorrow it's the knockout rounds, so we've already qualified and we wanted to have more energy for the knockout rounds," she told Reuters.

"Really, it's not necessary to go out hard again when the knockout rounds are tomorrow."

Her South Korean opponents declined to comment.

Other players at the tournament expressed their disdain at the situation.

"If it was the case they wanted to purposefully lose, then it's a big shame ... It's absolutely stupid and shameful sport, basically," said Germany's men's singles player Marc Zwiebler.

"I can understand the motives but that they have the guts to actually stand in a crowded hall and put such shame in the game, it's such a bad image of badminton."

Number of racist incidents reported in Kent schools is on the rise - thisiskent.co.uk

Number of racist incidents reported in Kent schools is on the rise - thisiskent.co.uk

THE number of racist incidents reported in Kent schools is rising, the Courier can reveal.

Figures obtained by the Courier show in 2010/11 there were 929 racist incidents reported at state schools across the county, compared to 874 the previous year. This included 414 reports from primary schools.

  1. ROBUST POLICIES: Skinners' Kent Academy principal Sian Carr

Mascalls School, in Paddock Wood, recorded the second highest number of incidents in the county, with 25 in 2010/11, 24 more than the year before.

Mark Waller, who retired as deputy head after 22 years at Mascalls on Friday, last week, said the school has a "zero-tolerance" policy towards racism. "This means staff record and follow up every instance," he said.

"We are aware this tends to mean that the number of recorded instances is artificially high, but we believe it is right to maintain a high level of vigilance with regard to this important issue.

"For example, if a student is heard referring to the traveller community using an offensive term, we will treat that as a racist remark and the offending student may expect a robust response and the offence to be recorded.

"As a result we find that most students become very aware of racist issues and it is not in any way a problem in the school."

Elsewhere in the borough Skinners' Kent Academy in Tunbridge Wells had 25 incidents across the two years.

However, principal Sian Carr insisted the 2011/12 academic year had seen zero incidents and that previous figures reflected "the situation inherited from the predecessor school".

She said: "Our robust behaviour policies ensure unacceptable behaviour of any kind is taken seriously and rigorously dealt with."

In total there were 122 incidents recorded in Tunbridge Wells schools over the last two years.

Incidents in the borough of Tonbridge and Malling increased from 51 to 60, while Edenbridge Primary School recorded 25 incidents in two years.

Name calling and verbal abuse were the two most common categories of racism logged in primary, secondary, special and Pupil Referral Units, for children who cannot attend mainstream schools.

In 2009/10 there were 135 more incidents in primary than secondary schools, but this changed the following year when there were 37 more in secondary.

Asda promotes Scottish store with a picture of English rolling hills 300 miles away - Daily Mail
  • Picture advertising local produce is actually of Wansfell, in the Lake District
  • Company says 'they never said photo was of Scotland'

The ASDA promotional leaflet which used a photo of the Lake District to promote Scottish food

In an attempt to promote its stores North of the Border, Asda decided that a picture of the rolling countryside would help show its commitment to locally sourced produce.

But there may be some questioning its 'local' credentials after it emerged the idyllic scene of green hills, dry-stone walls and blue water was actually from the Lake District - 300 miles away in England.

The supermarket has admitted using the image to promote its flagship Inverness store.

The picture, which was actually taken in Wansfell, near Ambleside in Cumbria, featured in a six-page brochure given away to households near the chain’s new 27million store.

Llocal businessman Jo Hunt, who spotted the embarrassing error, said: 'I recognised the house in the picture because friends of mine lived there.

'I was surprised to see it but I find it funny rather than anything else.'

Lake District National Park spokesman Mick Casey agreed: 'It looks like Wansfell to me, on the way up to Kirkstone Pass Inn.'

An Asda spokesman tried to deflect embarrassment by pointing out the supermarket did not claim to be picturing Scotland.

He said the image was a stock photo and added: 'It doesn’t say in the leaflet that the image is from the Highlands.

Blooper: The picture shown here is actually of Wansfell in the Lake District, England that is 300 miles away

'We have used it since last year and it has gone in front of a lot of people and we have never had this before.

'To me, and I’m not an expert, it looks like a field with a bit of wall and it could be in one of many places.

'We should focus on the fact that we are working with local suppliers and we are not coming in being all talk and no trousers - we are walking the walk.'

It's another humiliating moment for the supermarket, which has been fiercely attacked for its part in the milk scandal which saw dairy farmers protesting that they were not being paid enough to cover their costs.

Only one minor detail spoilt the scene - the photograph was actually taken in the very English Lake District

Only one minor detail spoilt the scene - the photograph was actually taken in the very English Lake District

Dairy farmers were furious about cuts of up to 2p a litre in the amount they receive from major milk processors and many feared the shortfall will force them out of business.

Asda, Morrisons and the Co-operative caved in to pressure and announced they would increase the prices they paid to suppliers.

All raised their fees, which will be passed on to the dairy producers.

A litre of milk costs at least 30p to produce, but many dairy farmers say they are being paid as little as 24p. Most are locked into 12-month contracts so cannot try to get better prices elsewhere.

In July Asda raised payments to 27.5p a litre, while Morrisons put its payments up to 31p a litre. The Co-operative Group increased its fee to 29p per litre.

Here's what other readers have said. Why not add your thoughts, or debate this issue live on our message boards.

The comments below have been moderated in advance.

ASDA puts the Scottish flag on Scottish produce, the Welsh flag on Welsh produce, nothing wrong with that, however English produce is labelled 'British' and has the 'British' flag on it, ASDA say this is because these products 'would not sell' in Scotland and Wales if they had the English flag on and were labelled correctly as being English. - John Bailey, Preston E*gla*d, 31/7/2012 13:29++++++++That is why I now refuse to but any produce that has "their" flags on them. Now, unless anyone from those other UK Countries can categorically state that isn't the case I'll start buying again, but would I believe them?

Since when is anywhere in Cumbria 300 miles from Scotland? This particular site of Wansfell is less than forty miles from the border. Even the distance from Wansfell to Inverness is far closer to two hundred miles than three hundred.

In Mexico you can buy Scottish Shortbread in a metal cookie box. It has a Scottish tartan all over and on the front, a picture of a famous Scottish castle in a lake. The shortbread is made in Denmark!

Never mind the countryside. Look after the dairy farmers Asda to make scene complete.

I agree it does all look the same, especially when it is raining.

Re: What an insult to the people of Scotland!! - Maura, Dublin, Ireland, 31/7/2012 13:17 Best check over there if ASDA is using a photo of the Northern Irish EU Region for stores in the Southern Irish EU Region!.

You've omitted the most important part of the story - what is the value of the house in the picture? Pfft....

Who really cares? Anyone with too little to do I imagine. No big deal.

I expect they're running out of unspoilt areas of our once green and pleasant land that hasn't got a whole load of fans on sticks in the middle of the view.

ASDA = Second rate stores with second rate produce.

Horsham crowned Sussex Cup champions - wscountytimes.co.uk

Horsham crowned Sussex Cup champions - wscountytimes.co.uk

In a thrilling finish Bexhill needed 16 to win off the final over to beat Horsham’s 119-8.

It went down to the wire with the East Sussex club wanting a six to win off the final ball bowled by fast bowler Devon Endersby. Batsman Tim Hambridge just took a single, meaning Horsham had successfully defended a relatively low total.

Captain Craig Gallagher praised his bowlers and fielding for getting them the win after he had top scored with the bat with just 22.

He said: “I would have preferred to get 160 or 170 but I believed with the bowling and fielding we have got we would win as we are really good at defending totals.

“Will Beer and Michael Munday took the pace off the ball and made us hard to put away and at the top Devon Endersby and Owain Jones did OK as well. It was a fantastic team effort.

“We kept losing wickets and weren’t building partnerships at all. But it’s not all about taking wickets, it’s a bonus. If you keep it tight you win the game and on a quick wicket too. This is our competition with 12 victories.

Spinners Beer and Munday took 1-19 and 2-24 respectively from their four over spells and opening bowlers Jones and Endersby took 2-17 and 0-19 to keep Behill behind Horsham for most of the game, despite a Man of the Match winning 65 by Bexhill opener Malcolm Johnson hit off 68 balls, which included a six and four fours.

The victory rounded off a great week for Horsham who alwso stormed to the top of the Sussex Premier League after beating leaders Preston Nomads.

Gallagher added: “It was a fantastic weekend and again a great team performance, with everyone chipping in. We now have a crucial two weeks where we play three matches and if win three it puts us in a good position to do the double!”

Morrisons could turn Folkestone bowls club into petrol station - thisiskent.co.uk

SUPERMARKET giant Morrisons could turn land currently occupied by an historic bowls club into a petrol station.

Folkestone Bowls Club has been awash with rumours in recent weeks that the firm was eyeing the site, which is next to its Cheriton Road store, in order to enter the local petrol market.

  1. Morrisons could turn Folkestone bowls club into petrol station

A spokesman for Morrisons refused to rule out the idea when approached by the Herald, while gossip has also been circulating that Tesco and a hotel chain were considering making a move.

The Herald exclusively revealed in March that Shepway District Council, which owns the land used by the bowls club, indoor club and Folkestone Invicta, was planning to sell the site.

Leaked documents revealed the bowls club, which has been in Folkestone for more than 100 years, could be torn down and moved while the football club could be repositioned in order for the council to sell the land for commercial development.

One bowls club member, who asked to remain anonymous, told this paper: "The Morrisons rumours have been very strong and would make sense. Their store is right next to the site. I went in there the other day and they gave me a voucher for 6p off a litre of petrol. I said what use is that, because the nearest station is Canterbury and driving up there would rule out the saving, and the cashier replied that there could be one opening nearer to us."

A spokesman for Morrisons refused to rule out the land as a potential site for a station, saying: "We're always looking at possible petrol sites up and down the country that are close to our stores but don't comment on individual sites."

District and county councillor Dick Pascoe, who is a member of the indoor bowls club, said: "I've heard all of these rumours and everything is up in the air.

"Stripes has reached its sell-by date and is very dilapidated and the bowls club also needs money spending on it. SDC wants to keep the facilities but it all comes down to finance.

"There are several options on the table, some with great benefits and others that not everyone might be happy with."

TOWIE girls leave Joey's party in tears - The Sun

TOWIE's Lauren Goodger was seen fleeing Joey Essex's birthday party in tears after a bust-up with former pal Lauren Pope last night.

The two girls, who used to live together, clashed after Lauren G approached her friend to try to clear the air.

Things have been tense between the ITV2 reality show castmates for a while, but now Lauren G is dating her pal's former flame Tom Pearce, 22, things have become even more awkward.

But in last night's episode Lauren P, 28, insisted she was "cool with the Tom situation" and that it was Lauren G badmouthing her that was the problem.

Lauren G told the DJ: "Obviously like I look back and at times we was really close and now I feel like there's Lauren and oh I can't talk to you about stuff I used to talk to you about, I don't want that."

To which Lauren P replied: "Well I don't want that either but it's hard when you said to Chloe to be wary of me, I've got no friends."

A shocked Lauren G, 25, then insisted she had never said anything like that, and demanded they call Chloe Sims, 30, over to ask her straight.

Chloe, who had been listening in, walked over and declared: "I don't really want to get involved but you did say something like that.

"It was a long time ago, it's not relevant for now, but obviously since then me and Lauren have got really friendly and when you're that close you do talk about things like that."

Lauren G then blasted back: "I'm here just to come over to you to talk about I'm now happy with Tom, seeing him, that's all I've come over for, not to have a row with anyone. And that's fine, that's not true, but whatever."

She then stormed off sobbing, but not before declaring: "I've had enough s*** in my life, I don't need this. I'm moving on, I'm happy, I've come over to give you the heads up. That's fine."

While Chloe shouted after her: "It's not really fine though, cos now it's even worse isn't it."

And she wasn't the only one to leave upset, Lydia Bright, 21, also broke down after a fight with her ex James "Arg" Argent.

Lydia had gone to chat to his new girlfriend Gemma Collins, 31, but when Arg, 25, saw them chatting he stormed over and demanded to know what they were talking about.

Angry Arg asked: "What are you two friends now?"

And Lydia insisted: "We've never not been friends."

Chubby crooner Arg then replied: "It's just cos the last time me and you spoke to each other you told me that I was scraping the barrel with Gemma."

And he added as the argument got heated: "You said we're both suited because we're fat. You also said we'd both need a special bed made to be able to handle us both."

Lydia blasted back: "Oh my god, you are such a liar."

But she couldn't control her emotions for long before beginning to sob, and shouting at her former long-term love: "You're horrible, you put people down, you manipulate them, you cheat."

Eventually Gemma and Arg walked off, leaving Lydia standing crying alone.

Jobs boost as supermarket can be built at Derbyshire Royal Infirmary site - This is Derbyshire

HUNDREDS of jobs will be created and millions of pounds generated for the NHS after the Government waded into the row over plans to build a supermarket on the former Derbyshire Royal Infirmary site.

Supermarket giant Morrisons now looks set to buy part of the site from the NHS, having already pledged more than 300 jobs in a planned store, plus hundreds more for construction workers.

  1. The Government has said a supermarket can be built on the former Derbyshire Royal Infirmary site.

The sale of the land will also create a big pot of cash to be spent on local health care.

Eric Pickles, Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, was called in to settle a row which broke out between Derby city councillors and hospital chiefs.

The council last year refused to make a decision about the proposal for a supermarket because it would involve demolishing an Edwardian building.

But Mr Pickles dismissed those concerns and instead gave hospital chiefs the green light for the major redevelopment project.

And, as well as granting permission for the site to house a supermarket, Mr Pickles has also given the nod to about 450 homes, offices and a cafe, restaurant or pub to be built there.

The development, dubbed the Nightingale Quarter, has been praised in a letter from Mr Pickles' office.

It stated: "The proposal would lead to the replacement of outdated buildings with a modern mixed-use community and encourage economic growth while protecting the environment."

Lee Outhwaite, director of finance at Derby's hospitals, added: "This is very good news for Derby."

In July last year, hospital chiefs announced that Morrisons was lined up to purchase part of the 20-acre NHS site once Derby City Council granted permission for a supermarket to be built there.

And Morrisons had said it hoped the store would open by the end of 2012 if the planning process went "smoothly".

At the time the city council said it would not make a decision on the plans until all options for the future of Edwardian building Devonshire House, which once provided accommodation for nurses, had been explored.

Hospital chiefs appealed to the Planning Inspectorate against the council's stance.

Now outline permission has been granted by Mr Pickles' office, which means detailed plans for the development will need to be submitted to the council and approved at a later stage.

A letter from the Department of Communities and Local Government said the significance of Devonshire House was "limited due to the unexceptional quality of the building".

The letter to Signet Planning, which has drawn up the scheme, continued: "There is no persuasive evidence of any demand for the re-use of the building and there would be a number of structural issues that would tend to suppress demand still further."

And the letter said the surrounding streets and buildings, including the Hartington Street Conservation Area, would be enhanced by the development.

It continued: "The balanced judgement, weighing the loss of Devonshire House against the other heritage assets, is strongly in favour of the proposal."

The plans are subject to conditions, including the fact that the supermarket must devote at least 80% of its space to selling food rather than other items.

Hospital chiefs have previously said Morrisons had been chosen because it concentrated on selling food and did not have "significant other lines", such as clothing or electronics.

As a result, it would complement rather than compete with city centre shops.

A further condition is that the road junctions around the site are improved. The supermarket will be on the part of the old hospital site which is closest to the city centre, near the junction of London Road and Bradshaw Way.

Much of the former DRI site was left vacant after the majority of healthcare staff and services moved to the new Royal Derby Hospital in May 2009.

A handful of wards and clinics remained and have since operated under the name of London Road Community Hospital.

A hospital spokesman said he did not yet know the planned opening date for the supermarket or the amount which the NHS would make from the sale of the land.

But he said the cash would be enough to help cover the investment already made in the new School of Nursing at Royal Derby Hospital.

It would also help pay for the ongoing redevelopment of London Road Community Hospital.

The NHS and council are considering transforming the hospital into a "health hub", housing various services for elderly people and those with long-term health problems.

Hospital finance director Mr Outhwaite said the sale of the site would generate "a significant amount of funds to be invested in health care".

He added: "Morrisons supermarkets remain as the prime purchaser for the land from the trust and continue to maintain their interest in the redevelopment and regeneration of the site."

Councillor Sara Bolton, chairman of the city council's planning control committee, said the report would be reviewed in detail and she would comment once there had been time to consider the findings.

Sussex schools struggle to recruit headteachers - The Argus.co.uk

Sussex schools struggle to recruit headteachers

Stress, low pay and a lack of support is putting off people making applications for vacant head teacher posts.

Union representatives say that East Sussex County Council is suffering “long running” problems in particular.

There are currently 18 primary schools under the county council’s control without a permanent head.

At some schools, multiple application processes have failed to find a suitable candidate.

St Peter and St Paul CE Primary School in Bexhill has had five unsuccessful attempts to find a head while Stafford Junior School in Eastbourne has failed with four recruitment attempts.

In comparison, West Sussex County Council has currently only three vacancies, at primary schools in Shoreham, Bognor and Horsham.

Brighton and Hove City Council said it didn’t have any vacancies.

The difficulty to attract head teachers was cited by the Office of the Schools Adjudicator as a major reason why Peacehaven Infant School and Hoddern Junior School were merged earlier this month, despite massive opposition to the plans.

Unions say that the problem is a national one but the county council should do more to support heads.

Phil Clarke, the NUT representative for East Sussex, said: “A primary school head is an extremely stressful job and they are under a lot of pressure from the Government and Ofsted.

“That role doesn’t come with the financial compensation of a secondary school role or with the same amount of people supporting them.

“I think it’s a national problem but East Sussex County Council could do more on a political level with councillors speaking out against what the Government is doing to head teachers.

“They should listen more to governing bodies and teachers when they disagree rather than riding roughshod over them.”

An East Sussex County Council spokesman said the vacancies were all currently being covered by experienced staff.

He said: “This is not a situation unique to East Sussex. The main factor is that many head teachers are coming up to retirement. We have a very good, positive and close relationship with the county’s head teachers and schools.”

Well we can't pay them more or the wonderful British public will be whining about it. We shall just have to be happy putting up with poor education standards since, as we all know, schools are like any organisations and are only as good as the person at the top. I wonder if the fools moaning about good people getting paid well understand that this type of communist economic thinking has failed in every state that it has been applied. tengri

Nottinghamshire v Sussex - County Championship Division One - Day 4 - Live Score and Update - Bettor.com

Nottinghamshire v Sussex - County Championship Division One - Day 4 - Live Score and Update

Sussex 171 & 385/5 (134.0 ov) v Nottinghamshire 520/4d - Match drawn

On Monday, July 30, the four-day match in the ongoing County Championship Division One between Sussex and Nottinghamshire ended in a draw, at Trent Bridge, Nottingham.

The day began with Sussex resuming their second innings from a tally of 146, with EC Joyce on 63 and CD Nash on a total of 79 runs.

The two batsmen, exhibiting exuberant form, took the score to a massive total of 216 run. It was then time for Joyce to find his way off the field, as he was dismissed by SR Patel, after hammering a stupendous knock of 98 runs.

Nash was then joined by LWP Wells in the middle, as the two batsmen continued the staggering batting offensive against the fielding side, aiming to humble Nottinghamshire’s first innings ton of 520 runs.

Sussex’s batting pair forged another intimidating partnership, as they smashed some of the finest shots in modern-day cricket.

Nottinghamshire bowlers were made to work hard in the field, as they got clobbered remorselessly all around the park.

With 314 runs on the board, the batting side saw the demise of their second wicket with Nash perishing after mounting a sensational knock of 162 runs off 306 deliveries. His innings included 22 boundaries and a six.

With Nash decommissioned, it was time for the fielding side to make a comeback in the match.

However, Wells and MW Goodwin denied Nottinghamshire another breakthrough, by playing responsibly.

After conceding a total of 352 runs, Nottinghamshire grabbed their third wicket of the day, dismissing Wells on a total of 59 runs.

HF Gurney then opened his account, by dismissing Sussex skipper, MH Yardy, for three. At the time of this wicket, Sussex had managed to amass 355 runs.

Goodwin was then joined by LJ Wright, but the partnership was short-lived, as with 380 runs on the scoreboard, Goodwin hit the showers after clobbering a knock of 31 runs.

Five runs later, the day came to an end, with Wright standing on a knock of 12 runs, as Sussex managed to pile 385 runs in their second innings.

Frankel heads Sussex quartet - SkySports

The world's highest-rated horse will face just three rivals - one of those being stablemate and pacemaker Bullet Train - in the Group One contest over a mile that he won last year.

Cecil, who has been having on-going treatment for cancer, said on his website, www.sirhenrycecil.com: "Unfortunately, I won't be at Goodwood on Wednesday as I have been undergoing some treatment.

"Although I am able to train my horses, I'm not quite fit to go racing yet, but I hope to be fully recovered in the near future.

"Everything has gone as we could have wished with Frankel since the Queen Anne Stakes. We gave him an easy time immediately after Royal Ascot before bringing him back into fast work.

"He has pleased us with his work and is going to the Sussex Stakes in good shape. We are taking one race at a time with him and are hoping that he can extend his unbeaten record."

Frankel's main test looks likely to come from Godolphin's Farhh, who has run such game races in defeat in the Prince of Wales's Stakes and the Coral-Eclipse.

Richard Fahey's Gabrial, who stepped up from handicap company to finish a close fifth in the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot, is the only other runner.
