A LOCAL COLLEGE is celebrating after its students picked up outstanding results at A-level. Chichester College has, for the sixth year in a row, produced an A-Level pass rate which is almost 100%. For the second year in succession overall pass rates are 99%. An impressive 23 A-level subjects have achievement rates of 100%; the remainder of the 32 subjects offered had pass rates in excess of 90%. These included several traditionally difficult subjects and included Physics, IT, Human Biology, Chemistry, Music, Classical Civilisation, History, Law, English Literature and English Language,

Drama, Film, Geography and Media. Most importantly, the high grades achieved at A level remain excellent with almost half of all students achieving grades A*-B despite the national picture which has seen a fall in the higher grades. These high grades have given Chichester College students an advantage in getting in to the university of their choice. Successful students are celebrating getting into a wide range of universities and drama schools; this includes many of the top universities. Others have decided to go into work, take a gap year or continue their studies at Chichester College on higher education, vocational or apprenticeship courses. Students celebrate their A-level results

Outstanding A-Level results again for Chichester College

Reflecting on the results, Helen Loftus, Assistant Principal, said: “Many congratulations to all our A level students! We’re absolutely delighted with these fantastic results. The achievement rates really reflect our passion for teaching and learning and our commitment to student success. The students have worked really hard to achieve to the best of their ability and our staff have provided excellent support to get the best results possible. Many students have put in a tireless amount of effort to achieve their grades, which makes celebrating their successes even more rewarding.” Students receiving their results were treated to strawberries, pain au chocolate, brioche and a glass of bucks fizz at a celebration breakfast held after results were handed out. It was a chance for students to enjoy the moment and share where they are off to next with their Student Tutors and teachers. Our students come from far and wide to study at Chichester College; here is a selection of their success stories: A Levels - outstanding student achievers Danielle Jackson Achieved A*, A, A in English Literature, Law and Classical Civilisation.

Legendary TV and radio personality

JOKE OF THE FESTIVAL “I got rid of my hoover. It was just collecting dust”…is very disappointing as Best of Edinburgh. A joke has to be edgy to make us laugh properly. ROBIN WILLIAMS The greatest stand-up comic ever, the late Robin Williams, was very edgy. On a live German TV chat show he was asked “Why do you think there is comparatively little humour in Germany?” “Maybe” he told the host “You killed all the funny people.” VOICEMAIL When you call someone’s mobile and it goes to voicemail you don’t get personalised messages saying “Hi it’s me, I can’t pick up, leave a message” Instead you get a brisk unknown woman “THIS is the voicemail service for (pause, voice change) Oh Seven Seven Oh…” I have a friend who changes her message every week, it’s always a quiz; “Hi it’s me, please leave a message at the tone, and begin by answering this question; who had a hit with “I’ll Do Anything For Love But I Won’t Do That”. Brilliant. It relaxes you, and you leave a funny message back.

GROCK A century ago a man from out of town went to see the doctor. “I’m very very depressed” he said “Suicidal. Can you help me?” The doctor replied, “Listen. the circus has just arrived in town. The great clown Grock is the star turn. They say he is guaranteed to make everyone laugh so much they forget their troubles. Why don’t you go and see Grock?” The man replies “I can’t” The doctor asks “Why not?” The man replies “Because…I am Grock.” CLOWNS Clowns never made us laugh did they? A lot of people are scared of them. A comedian pointed out that if Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator had gone into a circus instead of a Hell’s Angel’s bar he would have said “I need your clothes, your boots…and your unicycle”. Dressed as a clown, Terminator would have been much scarier.

recession. They knew it would turn round, but plenty went bust. I notice signs now go up saying “Sale Agreed” as opposed to “Sold”. I presume this means a deal has been done but contracts not signed. If so, that’s an honourable thing, it warns off potential gazumpers. Or does it do the opposite? I don’t know. Alls fair in love and real estate.

MEATLOAF I worked with the full-size rock star a while back. He was much better company than the stick insect pop stars. Perhaps big people need more of everything. Not just food and Jack Daniels. Humanity, life, friends, late nights. Big people often have more to give. Maybe the so-called obesity crisis is actually a turn for the better, in terms of human disposition. Thin people are often a bit…thin.

GOOD JOKES One liners can have edge and some humanity. Scouser John Bishop does them very well: JOKE John “I lost my virginity at 19. But I found it again when I got married.”

i-Witness helps police SUSSEX POLICE FORCE is delivering justice quicker thanks to a BT Redcare CCTV system called i-Witness. New research reveals that the Redcare system monitored more than 41,000 incidents in Sussex during the past year. The findings also showed that the system contributed to arrests for more than 500 incidents and that police resources were spared in more than 370 cases because the live footage showed that an incident had been resolved and there was no need for the presence of a police officer. BT Redcare’s i-Witness network, image storage and retrieval technology gives Sussex Police stations access to CCTV evidence from the 419 cameras installed around the county. The i-Witness technology boasts 450 terrabytes of storage, which is enough to store 100,000 DVDs or 725,850 music CDs. Julian Butcher, BT Redcare’s delivery manager, said: “BT Redcare

has deployed 50 i-Witness terminals in the offices of Sussex police and local authorities, which allow CCTV controllers to monitor 30 towns and villages, including Chichester and Bognor Regis via a fully managed BT network. Good quality CCTV evidence is persuasive and showing suspects video evidence early in the process can often encourage early guilty pleas.” Chief Inspector Stephen Brookman of Sussex Police said: “We’ve increased the bandwidth of the system to 1,000 Megabytes now, so we can deliver more data across the network. We’ve also upgraded it so it can receive images from any camera on the market. BT has been an excellent partner to us and has provided us with a reliable and consistent service over the years. I look forward to working with them in the future.” The system’s success is outlined

in a new case study available from the BT Redcare website. www. redcare.bt.com/PDF/RS1000/ CaseStudySussexPolice.pdf Quick facts 41,000 total incidents monitored by CCTV for the year 2013 - 2014 500 incidents where CCTV contributed to arrests, helping with identification 370 incidents resolved by CCTV without the need to deploy a police officer. 1,000MB (Megabyte) disk storage 450 terrabytes of storage – enough to store 100,000 DVDs or 725,850 music CDs 2,625 registered police and local authority users 419 CCTV cameras in Sussex 50 iWitness terminals in use around Sussex 30 towns are covered by the Public Space Surveillance CCTV network in Sussex

Chichester students among happiest in England STUDENTS from the University of Chichester are among the happiest in the south of England, according to a new survey. Results published last week showed that 89 per cent were satisfied with all aspects of their courses. The report, from the 2014 National Student Survey, also ranked Chichester in the top 25 per cent of all 158 universities, colleges, and conservatoires providing higher education in the UK for overall student satisfaction. Vice-Chancellor Professor Clive Behagg said that student satisfaction is even more important now than ever before, as the new fees mean that students are concerned about value for money. He added: “People ask me why Chichester’s scores are so high every year for the National Student Survey when we are one of the smallest universities in the country. “Our secret lies in the learning community created by all of our staff - a combination of excellent teaching and wonderful support from the rest of the staff - which gives our students a real sense of belonging and helps them to exceed

their own expectations.” As part of the survey nearly 1,000

undergraduates

Chichester,

alongside

from 320,000

final-year students across the UK, were questioned about different aspects of their degrees - including assessments and academic support. The

government-led

poll,

which is held each year, also rated Chichester in the top 20 universities for teaching excellence. University Deputy Dean Dr Mark Mason said that hard work went into ensuring a good fit between the skills that graduates gain on their programmes and those that are needed in the world of work. He added: “We work closely with our students to ensure that our learning and teaching reflects excellent practice, while a focus on employability and enterprise skills means our graduates are equipped to thrive in a global economy.” To find out more about the results of the National Student Survey visit www.thestudentsurvey. com.

Think Family Partnership is one of the country’s highest performing A WEST SUSSEX SCHEME that helps families change their lives for the better has been highlighted as one of the best of its kind in the country. The West Sussex Think Family Partnership, led by West Sussex County Council, is the local version of the Government’s Troubled Families initiative and works with families most in need of help and support. The Partnership works by assigning a dedicated worker to engage with a whole family on all of its problems, such as ensuring that children attend school, parents get back to work, addressing anti-social behaviour and generally helping families to turn their lives around. It includes a range of organisations and people, including district and borough councils, police, schools, health as well as volunteers from the community. Overall, Think Family has turned the lives around of 774 families in West Sussex so far. The scheme was also recently singled out as being the top in the country for supporting families back into work,

so far helping 389 people back into employment. Phase Two of the programme, which is due to come into effect in 2015, will see the West Sussex Think Family Partnership work with even more families to help them overcome complex problems. The Government has singled out the West Sussex Partnership to take on the role of an ‘Early Starter’, which means it will work with a further 600 West Sussex families before the national programme rolls out in April 2015. Peter Evans, West Sussex County Council’s Cabinet Member for Start of Life – Children, said: “This is really great news and something we are incredibly proud of. “We’re working with partners to change lives for the better. Our success shows that investing early to support those families who need help and support the most really does work.” Sussex Police & Crime Commissioner, Katy Bourne, said: “It is excellent news that West Sussex Think Family Partnership is to receive more funding in order

to continue their intervention work with vulnerable families and those individuals in most need. “The Partnership deserves credit for taking up the challenge of the Government’s Troubled Families scheme and the initiative in West Sussex has shown promising results so far. “By providing the right intervention and support this programme gives hope and opportunity to the families involved.” Chief Superintendent Martin Walker, Sussex Police Divisional Commander for West Sussex and chair of the Think Family Partnership Board added: “The Think Family Programme works. Families are at peace; children are back at school; parents are in work; and crime and disorder has reduced. We are seeing families and communities restored, providing the environment for children to grow into responsible citizens. “I am excited we can now give hope to another 4,060 families in West Sussex.”

Midhurst Rother College students secure top university places B (University of Westminster – Photography) Dr Joe Vitagliano, Principal of Midhurst Rother College, said: “Each year A Level examinations seem to become more demanding, however in the face of such challenge Midhurst Rother College has maintained its high standards. “This year a number of our students have secured places at top universities, including those in the Russell Group. This strategy, begun when the College became an academy, is now bearing fruit and shows even greater promise for the future.

“I am always humbled by how hard students have worked to achieve their grades; such results are a just reward for their effort and dedication. I wish them all well in the future. “With

45% of A Level entries were graded A*-B, with 64% of grades being A*-

C. There were some excellent individual results, including: Ashley Baker – A, B, C (Royal Veterinary College – Veterinary Medicine) Jack Benham – A*, A, B (University of Manchester –

Mathematics) Simon Dennis – A*, A, B, B (University of Bath – Chemistry) Catriona Gibbon – A, A, B, B (University of Southampton – Chemistry & Mathematics) Caroline Miller – A*, A*, A, A (University of York – Mathematics & Philosophy) Oliver van Zwanenberg – A*, B,

numbers

this year’s results should give new students joining MRC the confidence to know that with their hard work and the College’s extensive support they can go on to get outstanding examination grades and the best university places.”

MRC A Level Results 2014 (L-R) Simon Dennis, Ashley Baker, Jack Benham, Caroline Miller, Catriona Gibbon and Oliver van Zwanenberg

Views on Tangmere Conservation Area sought RESIDENTS in Tangmere are being invited to give their views on an important document which examines the village’s Conservation Area. Chichester District Council has been reviewing all of the district’s Conservation Area Appraisals, using guidelines set out by English Heritage. The council is currently reviewing the Conservation Area Character Appraisal and Management Proposals for Tangmere. The role of the appraisals is to: · identify the character and special qualities of the conservation areas; · highlight key issues; · put forward proposals for their management over the coming years; · identify features that detract from the character of the area; · review the boundary of the conservation area and make recommendations for its enlargement. The Management Proposals include recommendations which are aimed at either protecting the special character of the areas (where it is seen to be under some threat), or enhancing the character of the areas where there are opportunities to do

so. The review will ensure that there is an up-to-date document to support future planning decisions for the area. Copies of the draft appraisal documents are now available to view on Chichester District Council’s website by going to Environment and Planning and following the conservation tab: www.chichester. gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=23883 Copies are also available to view at the offices of Chichester District Council, East Pallant House, 1 East Pallant, Chichester PO19 1TY. Comments or suggestions on the draft document can be made to the Conservation and Design team at Chichester District Council by completing an online questionnaire, in writing by post or email, or by completing a paper questionnaire. Comments should be addressed to: Conservation and Design, Chichester District Council, East Pallant House, 1 East Pallant, Chichester PO19 1TY or email designandimplementation@ chichester.gov.uk The deadline for comments is Friday, 26 September.

Whether you are saving up for a holiday, a family car or consolidating debt, the West Sussex Credit Union could be an alternative to high street banks and doorstop lenders. The West Sussex Credit Union works like a bank as it lends to borrowers and looks after money for savers. It is a co-operative owned by its members. Michael Brown, Cabinet Member for Finance said: “West Sussex Credit Union has an important role to play within the community, ensuring an ethical alternative to money management to many individuals and

families in the county. “Credit unions are a great way for people to save and help their whole community.” Some reasons why you might consider borrowing from the credit union include: Part of your loan repayment goes into a savings account which is then yours, once the loan is paid back. Loans of up to £10,000 are available, with terms competitive with mainstream lenders. There are no fees or charges for setting up the loan. There are no hidden charges if you pay the credit union back early. The credit union charges interest on a daily basis unlike many other lenders, so the sooner you repay, the

less interest you pay. Borrowing from the credit union means you avoid using home credit companies and instant loan providers who can charge extremely high interest. It is easy to apply online and borrowers can check out what their repayments could be in advance with the ‘loan calculator’ tool. Anyone who joins can save up to £15,000 a year. Savers can be certain that their money is safe as all savings are protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. To find out more see www. westsussex.creditunion.co.uk

Chichester Karate Club and Chichester High School for Boys students Patrick Collyer and Matthew Foster proudly wearing their new black belts!

THE CHICHESTER GKI KARATE CLUB has recently hosted a summer Gasshuku with other GKI clubs flying in from Portugal, Sweden and Belgium. Travelling from Japan this year was just a little too far for our Japanese friends! The four day event was organised by Sensei Alan Prior and his family

who run the Chichester Karate Club. The training was held at Chichester University with in excess of 120 people attending the event. Karate students were able to ‘dip in and out’ of the training on offer with many students deciding to take up all sessions as they realise what a fantastic opportunity it is

to train with people who have such experience in Goju-Ryu karate. Sensei James Rousseau (9th Dan and Chief Instructor of the GKI) travelled to Chichester along with Sensei Len Sim (8th Dan) and Sensei Kevin Nason (7th Dan) to deliver the training sessions. Younger students also benefitted from having lots of black belts on hand to support their techniques. Chichester karate club had two students grading for their black belts. Partick Collyer and Matthew Foster have both been training for a significant amount of time and were thrilled when they were presented with their black belts at the Sayonara ‘goodbye’ party which was held in the Assembly Halls in central Chichester. Other students were also presented with their black belts. Club Instructor, Sensei Alan Prior said: “It’s a great achievement for the club to reach its 40th anniversary. We had a great deal of help from members and supporters of the club which made the event such a success. We resume training on Wednesday 3rd September with new members always welcome. Contact Alan Prior on 01243 672589.”

A few shaggy dog stories – all puns intended I thought this week of writing some shaggy dog stories. Well, less shaggy and more plain dog. And not so plain either as some, like Bertie the corgi-cross, who veers between docility and megalomania, who is rather fancy and always a magnet for compliments when out. Even the most hardened “I’m-a-cat-andnot-a-dog” person crumbles and melts when they encounter Bertie and his seal-puppy eyes and soft, silky red coat and ears. I always wanted a dog when I was a kid. Once, we took in a puppy for a few days but I wasn’t allowed to keep it. I remember coming down first thing in the morning before anyone else was up to feed and play with the wondrous new addition to the household. I cried bitterly when she went to a new home. In outrage, I read the wonderful story of Old Yeller by Fred Gipson. If you’ve read it you’ll know it’s one of those books you never forget. I watched all the lassie films that used to be on in the school holidays. I still think it’s true that animals sometimes emerge as more loyal, more honourable and a better friend than their human counterparts.

Allis Moss Writer and broadcaster

During the years I lived in Paris, the dog world I encountered was very different. Largely because of the way Baron Haussmann redesigned the city for Napoleon III most Parisians live in apartments in nineteenth century blocks from the first floor up. In this stratum of society, rats, mice and the concierges - or caretakers - were confined to the ground floor where no one else wanted to be. Higher up where the air was sweeter, were individuals of all ages who pushed ‘cadets’ or bagon-wheels into the lift and down to the supermarket where they could load their shopping straight in. The pooch went in the shoulder bag. The funny thing was, I hardly saw any cats in Paris, either domestic or feral, as I have in other cities.

No wonder there was so many rats and mice, which were an accepted part of city life, the rats often to be seen openly rummaging about in the rubbish left outside even the most elegant of dwellings in the poshest end of town. I had a sneaking suspicion that despite my best efforts, my big, high-ceilinged studio that was slightly off the ground floor but had a mezzanine bedroom had occupants other than myself. My mother, despite being a Francophile, flatly refused to come and stay, convinced the place was running alive with mice. A friend who did visit shouted out my name in the middle of the night from her sofa bed downstairs, on hearing the patter of tiny feet. But at least the studio, despite being near the river, not surprisingly, never had a single spider in it. It all pales into insignificance with a hideous episode out in the ‘banlieues’ - or suburbs. Omar is a Moroccan friend who combined the job of grocer with being a philosopher-poet like his famous Persian namesake Omar Khayyam. Moroccan Omar had arranged for me to stay for two months in the

empty, ground-floor flat of a lady contact – out in the banlieues. That first night, the nightmare started up the moment I lay down on the mattress and closed my eyes. What was that? I distinctly heard not the patter – but the scuttle – of tiny feet – all six of them to a body if I wasn’t mistaken, running round the skirting board. I leapt up, switched

on the light, and saw the kitchen had been transformed into a playground for cockroaches. I seized the first implement that came to hand - a tray - and it broke in two as I took aim. The next day I bought a pellet dispenser and dispensed pellets of poison, left a note and a brand new tray and cleared out. I never got the two months’ rent back either.

Shut Up and Be Nice Photo of the week Something weird is happening here in Spain. (Btw I’m camping in Spain just to make that last sentence clear.) My family, the merry bunch that we are, are feeling very awkward. I take for granted the fact that in Chichester, everyone is friendly and the Smile Test is generally passed with flying colours (if you aren’t a keen reader of mine I should explain that the Smile Test was invented by me because I tend to grin at people on the street, and those who grin back are cool, and those who don’t get an E- for their smile score). On this campsite, though, everyone is boring and frowns all the time. I held the door open for multiple people in the bathroom (whilst smiling obvs) and they just walked through angrily as though I’d just slammed it in their face. I’ve even said hi to people only to be brutally blanked. Even my parents have commented on it. It’s like this is the campsite of the hateful that we’ve accidentally driven into. It’s made me realise how much I take for granted that in Chi everyone’s just NICE to each other, and not even in a way that means we make an extra effort. It’s just friendly and polite. You walk down the street and you smile and say hi if you know people. Sometimes even the people you don’t know. We are actually pretty

Mia Edwards cute guys, go Chi. It annoys me so much when people just don’t make the effort to smile or greet or even just thank people for picking up something that they’ve dropped. It really isn’t so hard. When I was in Italy on a school trip, one girl in the year below spent the whole time complaining about the food, the teachers, the lack of organisation, the slowness of our walking. Oh my God just SHUT UP and BE NICE. Fair enough if you have the occasional complaint about things; that’s natural. But please spare us your 24/7 moaning, and smile and thank people like everyone else. (I’d just like to point out that said girl spent the evening in the hotel corridor using the WiFi instead of going out like everyone else. It’s sad, but man it fits.) People do take it personally if you don’t make them feel welcome; this is what I have learned from Campsite Cranky. I hope our cheerful Chi vibes are better (almost as good as my alliteration skills).

Petworth takeaway fined Mobile catering company is prosecuted for repeat hygiene offences for food hygiene offences THE OWNER of a mobile catering van has been ordered to pay over £3,000 in fines and costs for poor food hygiene practices. William Sweeney runs BDS Catering, which trades as Billys, and was prosecuted by Chichester District Council for several offences under the Food Hygiene (England) Regulations 2006. During an inspection of the burger van in Woodruff Business Centre, Terminus Road, Chichester on 3 October 2013, environmental health officers found bread containers were dirty, a dirty fridge and a griddle covered in coagulated grease. Windows were covered in food, dirt and cobwebs and there was an inadequate supply of hot water for hand washing. The company did not have good knowledge of food hygiene issues and there was also a concern that cross contamination could take place during food production. Mr Sweeney pleaded guilty during a hearing at Worthing Magistrates Court on Wednesday 13 August. He was fined £2,000 and ordered to pay £1,273 costs plus a victim support charge of £120. Magistrates said they took a dim

The catering van was in need of a major clean

view of the length of time it had taken Mr Sweeney to deal with the offences and advised him to close the business for a couple of days so the kitchen could be cleaned properly. Councillor Eileen Lintill, Cabinet Member for Wellbeing and Community Services at Chichester District Council, said: “Breaches of food hygiene laws are taken extremely seriously by our environmental health officers. Members of the public should feel confident when visiting premises such as restaurants, takeaways and cafes that the food they are buying is prepared in a clean, tidy environment

and that strict hygiene practices are in place. Where there are failures, the council will act and prosecute where necessary.” Chichester District Council inspects any premises where the public has access to buy food. Each one is rated one (lowest) to five (highest) for hygiene standards. After an inspection, each business receives a sticker and a certificate which it is encouraged to display. Any member of the public is able to view the results by going to the Food Standards Agency website www. ratings.food.gov.uk

A CHINESE TAKEAWAY in Petworth has been ordered to pay over £5,000 in fines and costs for food hygiene offences investigated by Chichester District Council’s environmental health officers. Goodwill House in Pound Street, was the subject of many visits as a result of problems found which remained unresolved. During an inspection on 19 December 2013 environmental health officers discovered a number of problems. Among them, there was a concern that cross contamination between food preparation surfaces could take place. The officers also found that the microwave was not clean with a buildup of waste food, that the kitchen hand washing basin was not clean and that dead flies had not been removed from an insect catcher. Following a hearing on Wednesday, 13 August at Worthing Magistrates Court, owner and manager, Mr Yuk Man Kan, and the company, Goodwill House Ltd were found guilty, and ordered to pay a total of £5,036. Councillor Eileen Lintill, Cabinet Member for Wellbeing and Community Services at Chichester

District Council, said: “Both the council and the court take a poor view of the failure to act upon food hygiene inspection reports. It is important that all businesses involved with the production and serving of food comply with food hygiene regulations in the interests of both the business and customers. “I hope this sends a clear message that hygiene offences are taken seriously and that there will be serious repercussions for those found in breach of the law.” Chichester District Council inspects any premises to which the public has access to buy food, and rates each one from one (low) to five (high) for hygiene standards. Any member of the public is able to view these results by going to the Food Standards Agency website www.ratings.food.gov.uk

National News News in Brief • A FORMER PSYCHOLOGIST for TV show Big Brother was sacked unfairly by the University of Manchester, an employment tribunal has ruled.Professor Geoff Beattie was sacked for not disclosing the full extent of his media and broadcasting work. But the tribunal said although Prof Beattie had “breached” university policies, it was unfair to sack him for his first disciplinary offence.

Longleat Adventure Park train crash leaves six hurt

• POLICE STOPPED a car travelling the wrong way along a motorway by crashing into it headon. Officers attended the M6 Toll close to the junction for the A38 near Sutton Coldfield, at about 21:50 BST on Tuesday.The Honda Jazz was travelling at 50mph, West Midlands Police said. The driver of the car, a 77-year-old man with dementia, had been reported missing from his home in Rowley Regis. He was uninjured. • A SUPPLY TEACHER has used more than 27,000 pink loom bands to create a one-off garment for charity. Fashion design graduate Kelly Bull, 25, from Barton Seagrave, Northamptonshire, challenged herself to take the playground craze to a new level. She said: “All of the kids were doing it and I thought why not do something different to lots of bracelets.” The top, which used about £100-worth of loom bands, will be auctioned for Breast Cancer Care until Monday. • SEVEN THIEVES who risked their lives to scale high voltage electricity pylons to steal 45 tonnes of metal cable will only have to repay £1 each towards the proceeds of their crime. The gang from Cardiff, who were jailed last December, have no money left even though they made £25,000 from selling the copper as scrap. • A THREE-YEAR-OLD girl could not walk and had severe nappy rash requiring hospital treatment as agencies underestimated neglect, a report says. Gloucestershire Safeguarding Children Board’s serious case review follows her parents being jailed for neglect. The report focuses on the couple’s four youngest children who had head lice, weak bones and other health problems. It has concluded that authorities need to treat neglect as seriously as sexual and physical abuse. • A MAN who died in a fall from the fire-damaged Eastbourne Pier has been named as Stephen Penrice, from Cumbria. The 44-year-old from Sandylonning, Netherton, who was working on the pier, was pronounced dead at the scene after falling on to the beach on Tuesday.

SIX PEOPLE were injured when a train at Longleat Adventure Park overturned. A woman suffered leg fractures and was airlifted to hospital after the crash at about 3.45pm on Wednesday. Two carriages came off the track as the train - carrying 155 passengers - was coming into the park’s main square, a spokesperson said. Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service said five people, described as “walking wounded”, were treated at the scene of the accident. The train’s rear carriage went on

to its side and the other remained upright, leaving the other carriages on the track. Lisa Mowe from Coventry, who was one the train with her 15-yearold son Hadley and his friend Jason Thomas, said it was “a horrible experience.” “People on the train were helping others to safety,” she said. Hadley Mowe said: “It was quite scary as people were very distressed. “Jason and I helped get people out of the carriages by pushing up the train which had fallen off the rails.

“Everyone worked together to help each other. I was just relived that my family were ok.” Mrs Mowe’s mother and her husband Derek were also on the train and helped a little boy out of the carriage which came off. She said she believed a young girl had got her leg trapped and a woman was knocked unconscious in the incident. “They didn’t seem to have any emergency planning procedures in place,” Mrs Mowe told BBC News. The injured woman has been flown to Bath Royal United Hospital,

a fire service spokeswoman said. Insp Alan Webb of Wiltshire Police said Longleat staff acted “in a highly professional way” and were “very efficient in dealing with the emergency services”. The Health and Safety Executive has been informed and a meeting with police has been scheduled for Thursday, Insp Webb confirmed. In a statement, the park said: “Staff are currently undertaking a thorough investigation into what caused the incident and the railway will remain closed during this time.”

Birmingham Airport stowaway said he was co-pilot A DRUNKEN MAN who managed to sneak on to a plane claimed he was the co-pilot when he was found, a court heard. Lee Jezard admitted boarding an empty Lufthansa plane and breaching security at Birmingham Airport by climbing through a baggage carousel, on 17 July. At Birmingham Magistrates’ Court Jezard also admitted stealing £36.45 worth of food from the airport’s Caffè Nero. Jezard, 22, of of Jubilee Avenue, Redditch, lost his job as a hotel manager when his employer found out.

David Devine, prosecuting, said despite some earlier media reports saying Jezard was at the airport after missing a flight to Ibiza, a study of all plane manifests revealed “he was never booked on to any flight”. He described the actions of Jezard as a “drunken escapade”. Jezard was discovered aboard a Lufthansa Embraer 195 by cleaning staff, and initially told them “I’m the co-pilot”, said Mr Devine. “When they asked him for ID, he had none, and then told them ‘I work for the navy’.” “He then said: ‘I’m breaking into

places to see if people can catch me - I go to prisons and other places’.” Security cameras showed Jezard crawling through the opening of a baggage carousel, getting on to the airport’s Tarmac apron, and then getting aboard the plane. In mitigation, Tariq Khan said his client “really had very little idea how he arrived at the airport” after going on a drinking binge with friends in Birmingham city centre. Mr Khan said his client “guessed” he arrived at the airport by train. “I am sure airport staff and management will have been having

a close look at events and security will have been tightened up.... this could have been a more serious breach than it was in this case,” he said. Jezard was fined £95 for each of the three offences, ordered to pay full compensation to the coffee shop, together with £185 costs and a £20 victim surcharge. An airport spokesperson said the safety and security of its passengers was its “number one priority” and that a full internal investigation had taken place into the incident.

Chichester Business New networking opportunity Kylee Charles Director of PR Consultancy Mindseye Management

As business owners we are told that networking is the single most powerful marketing tactic to accelerate and sustain success for any individual or organisation. However, ensuring we make time for such activities can often require the same discipline as going to the gym I find. The joy of a good networking opportunity can be found through making those all-important connections and building enduring, mutually beneficial relationships. Ensuring you meet the “right” people to include in your network and expand your sphere of influence, is a skill in itself but with

Chichester Herald provides businesses with an unrivalled, targeted and costeffective advertising solution across the City with a newspaper readership of 83,000. The newspaper is available for selfselected pick-up across the city of Chichester and surrounding areas in a wide variety of locations every Friday. We also deliver thousands of newspapers to homes across the area every week. As well as this, over 1000 businesses

a little assistance, the weight of the task can become a lot easier. Often it’s not about what you know ... but it’s who you know, so I was delighted to be introduced to Stewart Cormack this week, a great advocate for business networking locally. He recently set up the Bosham Business Networking Coffee Morning and took time to tell me why. “I set up the network as a result of attending many breakfast meetings in the past which I thoroughly enjoyed yet felt that something was missing, in some cases but not all. Many have a great structure yet can be a costly exercise on a regular basis with membership fees and breakfast costs to consider. I personally could network two or three times a week but I need to get on with my day job too. Since I started my journey into self-employment I have met some fabulous and helpful people and because of that I wanted to share my ‘stroke of luck’ with others who may not know where to start. I seem to have been networking forever whether virtually by webinar, skype or face to face at meetings so I decided the Coffee Morning should start as close to home as possible – in our area will also get at least one newspaper delivered to them whether they are in the City Centre, a town or village, an industrial business park or a lone café on a country road. We have 422 newspaper stands across the district which is located as far north as Midhurst, south to Selsey, the Witterings and Pagham, east to Arundel and west to Bosham. What better way to advertise your vacancy to thousands of people starting from £25 + vat per week. To advertise here call 01243 200999 or email advertising@ chichesterherald.co.uk

The Bosham Inn, last Friday of each month. There are no membership fees or breakfasts to buy, just book on-line and pay a fiver to cover the cost of the coffees. Everyone will have the opportunity to showcase their business and each month we’ll have a guest speaker covering a specialist subject. This is for both the seasoned networker and the brand new beginner so don’t worry you won’t have to speak at all, so feel free to attend knowing that you will not be asked for referrals or forced into any public speaking engagements. “As well as helping people to start their own business whether it’s a franchise or a brand new start-up I like to help people in any way I can. I have some free training courses that I give away to anyone who’s interested as well as some templates and business plan documentation. I also have some contacts that can help people with funding and in particular through my associates we have access to a government

funded programme which provides “start up” loans to prospective entrepreneurs providing all aspects of the criteria are met.” I myself am keen to attend the next Bosham Business Networking Coffee Morning, which will be taking place on Friday 29 August, 11am at the Bosham Inn. Further details about the meetings can be found online too at www. BoshamCoffeeMorning.com. Relationships are the catalyst for success and people do business with those they like and trust. Ask any senior executive, politician, community leader or successful salesperson which single skill or habit helped them excel in their career and an overwhelming majority will respond with one simple word… Networking.

THE HELICOPTER made famous by Pussy Galore in the 1964 James Bond Film ‘Goldfinger’ will take centre stage at the Freddie March Spirit of Aviation exhibition at the Goodwood Revival on September 12. The flying machine, officially known as the Hiller UH-12E4 is the very aircraft in which Galore, played by actress Honor Blackman, flew Goldfinger’s atomic bomb to Fort Knox for the film’s finale. It was also used by Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton in Oscar-winning film, ‘The VIPs’, the previous year. Up to 30 aircraft will form part of the display with other highlights including a 1948 Tempco ‘Globe Swift’ GC-1B whose previous owner’s father was taught to fly at 14 years old by aviation pioneer Wilbur Wright – and even had the latter’s signature on his licence. Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson is set to bring his Fokker DR1 triplane, the same kind of machine used by German World War 1 hero Manfred von Richthofen, aka, The Red Baron, while the largest machine this year will be a Douglas C47A Dakota. Two very rare Austers will be on-site, a ‘5’ that was used in the D-Day landings of 1944 and a J1, which completes the line-up of the Leicestershire-built machines. Beechcraft’s presence is marked by a pair of twin-engined aircraft, an E18S and a BE-50 Twin Bonanza, while de Havilland, Cessna, Percival, Piper and others will be represented as well.

Chichester Herald is the area’s largest independently owned newspaper, written and put together by local people, reaching an audience of up to 75,000 every week

Goodwood has announced that the 2014 Revival Beneficiary will be the National Motor Museum Trust at Beaulieu. The National Motor Museum Trust at Beaulieu is a charitable organisation dedicated to preserving and promoting motoring history. It has a worldfamous collection of vehicles as well as extensive collections of motoring-related items – including motoring objects, film and

photographic images, documents and books. Thanks to Revival visitors’ generosity, the National Motor Museum will undertake work to ensure that one of Britain’s most iconic grand prix cars of the postwar era, the 1950 BRM V16 Type 15, remains in running order for many years to come. The car took its maiden race victory, with Reg Parnell behind the wheel, at Goodwood in September 1950 in the Woodcote

Cup and added another win later the same day in the Goodwood Trophy race for Formula 1 machines against a lineup that included Sir Stirling Moss and future Le Mans winner Duncan Hamilton. It has maintained links to Goodwood ever since and was last seen at the Festival of Speed in 2012. The Revival’s official charity partner, The Richard Burns Foundation, will collect donations across the race weekend. The RBF, named in memory of the late 2001 World Rally Champion, aims to help people affected by serious illness or injury. Its patrons include Burns’s former co-driver Robert Reid, two-time World Rally Champion Marcus Gronholm and Sebring 12 Hours-winning sportscar driver Marino Franchitti, who will also race at The Revival next month.

Caroline’s Dairy featured on BBC Guilty Pleasures VAN HIRE

SIDLESHAM BASED ice cream business, Caroline’s Dairy, recently featured in an episode of Food & Drink on BBC 2. The show was aired on Monday 28th July at 8.30pm and can still be viewed on BBC iPlayer. The Food & Drink TV series highlights the best of British food as well as the latest foodie trends, nostalgic classics and recipes from around the world. Chef, Michel Roux Jnr presents along with guests like Rachel Khoo, best known for her 2012 cooking series ‘The Little Paris Kitchen’. In last week’s ‘Guilty Pleasures’ episode, Rachel Khoo can be seen working alongside Caroline Spiby in the ice cream parlour at Chalder Farm to help argue the case for full fat food. Caroline comments, “We are really excited about being on the show and having the chance to tell everyone what makes full fat food so special.” Since launching 6 years ago, Caroline continues to make her ice cream in small batches using only the milk from her family’s cows that graze on the water meadows of Marsh Farm, around the beautiful RSPB Pagham Harbour Nature Reserve. The cows produce rich, high-quality, creamy milk with a butterfat content of four per cent. The milk is then pasteurized with

double cream before other locally sourced ingredients are added as it is frozen to make their unique ice cream flavours. Caroline strongly believes that there is no need for vast amounts of sugar in ice cream as the milk and cream have their own natural sweetness. “By eating full fat you stay fuller for longer,” she comments. “If you are eating a fat reduced product then the fat has to be replaced with flavours. These are full of additives, salt and sugar, so you end up eating

more as you are still hungry.” As Caroline and Rachel assert on the program, it is the rich, creamy milk with its high fat content that makes Caroline’s Dairy ice cream the ultimate sumptuously smooth luxury ice cream. If you would like to learn more about the case for full fat food and Caroline’s Dairy ice cream, please sign up to the newsletter and join the recipe room via their websitehttp:// www.carolinesdairy.co.uk/

Cinema Review: What If WIN TWO TICKETS TO CINEWORLD

FOR A CHANCE TO WIN 2 TICKETS, ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTION: Q. What was the first Harry Potter film Daniel Radcliffe starred in?

A. PHILOSOPHERS STONE What If (15) Running time: 102 mins Director: Mike Dowse Starring:Daniel Radcliffe, Zoe Kazan, Adam Driver, Rafe Spall, Megan Park, Mackenzie Davis

Smitten Daniel Radcliffe and Zoe Kazan try to remain just friends in this charming romantic comedy.

After being left with a broken heart, medical school dropout Wallace (Daniel Radcliffe) is avoiding romance. But then he meets flirty animator Chantry (Zoe Kazan) at a party. The connection between them is immediate. Unfortunately, Chantry reveals that she’s living with Ben (Rafe Spall), her boyfriend of five years. As Wallace and Chantry start hanging out together, bonding over their shared love of ‘The Princess Bride’, their friendship deepens.

How long can they postpone the inevitable? Adapted from a stage play, this smart, whimsical indie take on romantic comedy conventions marks a major change of direction for ‘Goon’ director Mike Dowse. Former Harry Potter Daniel Radcliffe adds another string to his bow, making an engaging screen couple with ‘Ruby Sparks’ writer and star Zoe Kazan There’s strong support too from rising star Adam Driver as Wallace’s crazy best buddy Allan.

Children earn stickers and rewards for every book they finish, while a certificate and medal is handed out to every youngster who completes the challenge, which concludes on Saturday 13th September.

Some say it was bought to prevent shipment to America, and it is suggested that the Goodwood version may be offered up for sale after the Revival to offer potential US buyers another chance to take Stonehenge stateside!

Change in the air as Oxmarket Strides into autumn Badminton England initiative SUCCESSFUL ENTRANTS to the annual Stride open painting and drawing competition will have their work on display to the public at the Oxmarket Centre of Arts from 2 to 14 September (10am -4.30pm Tuesdays to Sundays). Sponsored by Stride and Son and Blooms of Chichester, this prestigious competition always draws accomplished artists who produce skilful, fresh and collectable art. With over a thousand visitors expected to browse and buy at the exhibition, it is a major event for the Oxmarket team. Over 240 pieces of work from new and returning artists were received at the gallery by deadline day on 4 August. Carefully stored away by the dedicated team of volunteers who assist the centre, the works now await final judgement by a panel of professionals including Piers Ottey, the Centre’s own trustee and artist David Souter and Peter Parker from Stride & Son.. As David says: “A review of past winners shows the strong level of art we attract. Jane Young’s handling of fragmented light in her 2012 winning entry (picture

submitted), Collette Blunden’s use of saturated colour the same year (picture submitted) and Sue England’s vibrant sense of collective fun from 2010 (picture submitted) all demonstrated abundant skill and originality. We look forward this year to unveiling more new and invigorating work at the prize-giving on Tuesday 2 September (6-8pm).” Fittingly, presenting the prizes at the awards ceremony will be local artist Monty Toms, who is retiring this year after many years of service to the Oxmarket, initially as a trustee and latterly as Chairman of the Board of Management. Chichester resident and Oxmarket

• Celebrated Westbourne based theatre director, Roger Redfarn, is directing the Arundel Players production of Privates on Parade, written by Peter Nichols with music by Denis King as part of this year’s Arundel Festival. Privates on Parade opens at the Priory Playhouse Theatre, London Road, Arundel, BN18 9FA on Saturday 16 August until Saturday 23 August starting at 7.45pm. Tickets cost £14 and are available by calling the Arundel Players Box Office between 9am and 9pm on 07523 417926. According to Roger: “Privates on Parade is a witty musical parody, laden with comic innuendo and a jaundiced account of post-war colonial politics which is based on the author’s real life experience in ENSA in Singapore and Malaysia during the communist insurgency in 1948.” The play, which contains strong language and some nudity, was first performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company at Stratford-upon-Avon and later transferred to the Aldwych Theatre in London where it won

an Olivier Award for Best New Comedy. Roger, who has enjoyed over 50-years success as a professional director both in this country and internationally, said: “I hope the audiences will appreciate and enjoy the rich ‘music hall’ humour and find the mix of colourful army service characters food for thought.” For any further information about the Arundel Players visit www.arundelplayers.org.uk • Following a hugely successful debut in 2013, Valley Challenge 2014 promises to be even bigger and better.

The Valley Challenge is organised by local fitness company and hosts of the ever popular Valley Bootcamp, Milestone Fitness, to raise funds for Singleton Playschool. This year’s race takes place on Saturday 20 September,

trustee Richard Shord will take over from Monty after the centre’s AGM in September. With a background in industry Richard will bring commercial insight into the gallery’s needs going forward, although having studied art history as a mature student with both Exeter and Oxford Universities, he will also have an artistic sensitivity for the Oxmarket’s place in the cultural life of Chichester. Speaking recently, Richard said: “The Stride competition represents an important function of the Oxmarket in bringing ever-changing artistic experiences to the city. It is also a way point in the year when the management team can reflect how, as a non-profit making charity, it can build the resources to fulfil the mission of fostering both artistic talent and the engagement of the public. I am extremely grateful to the sponsors for their invaluable support, our staff and volunteers for their professionalism and effort, and, of course, Monty and my fellow trustees, for laying the foundations for successful years ahead.”

starting at 10am at East Dean Village Hall. The village hall serves as Race HQ and offers homemade cakes and other refreshments, registration, bagdrop and a massage station.

The race is a challenge but suitable for runners of all abilities aged 17 upwards. For further information or an entry form please visit www.milestonefitness.co.uk/valleychallenge.

Sir Richard Branson on the hunt for Britain’s best food start-ups

BRITAIN’S UP-AND-COMING food entrepreneurs are being invited to pitch their businesses to Sir Richard Branson as part of a new start-up competition. There are four award categories available: start-ups looking to get their products on supermarket shelves can apply for the “Most exciting new brand” award. Restaurants, cafes, pop-up eateries and food vans are invited to compete for the “Tastiest start-up” category. The “Best healthy food business” award will go to the start-up with the most impressive nutricious bent. While the “Most loved kids’ food” award is aimed at children’s food brands. The winning start-ups will receive a prize package that includes mentoring and “money-can’t buy support to reach new customers”, according to Virgin StartUp. Sir Richard will be joined by a panel of judges, including Ella’s Kitchen founder Paul Lindley, who sold his organic babyfood firm to US giant Hain Celestial last year.

Hemsley + Hemsley founders Melissa and Jasmine Hemsley, who

on operating as sustainably as possible with great eco credentials

manufacture organic, healthy food products, are also sitting on the judging panel. “We’ll be looking out for the businesses that have a focus on not only turning a profit, but

and underlying ethos, delivering delicious nutrient-rich food that means their customers are truly eating well,” said Melissa Hemsley. Eight entrepreneurs will be shortlisted for each award, and

will need to pitch their business to the panel at the Virgin StartUp Foodpreneur Fest 2014, which will take place on September 17 in London. The Virgin founder said of the competition: “Britain is living through a golden age of

entrepreneurship with almost 5m small business operating in the UK. At the heart of this are innovative food start-ups, which are popping up all over the country. “This is boosting the UK economy and providing much needed jobs and it’s also revolutionising the way we eat, providing many of us with access to more natural, organic and locally produced food. I’m looking forward to meeting the next wave of food businesses that will push this movement on even further.” The Virgin billionaire has taken an active interest in the food industry recently, giving up beef for environmental as well as health reasons. “The true cost to the world of a burger is far greater than the money you hand over to buy it,” he said on Twitter last month. The call for Virgin StartUp Foodpreneur Fest 2014 entries is open now, and food start-ups have until 10am on September 3 to apply. Entrepreneurs must be over 18 and based in the UK to be eligible.

Milk is often a major part of most children’s diets and if a child is intolerant to milk, this can affect how they feel every single day of their life. Nausea, cramps, and pain can squelch the normal joys of discovery and mastery. But the classic symptoms of milk intolerance are diarrhea or abdominal pain. Many kids with milk intolerance also wheeze, especially when they get a cold. They can also have the dry, sensitive skin of eczema and their noses always seem to be running. Ear infections are also more common than in other kids. Constipation, however, has not been typically associated with milk intolerance - until now. The observation that constipation might sometimes be caused by milk intolerance has appeared in the medical literature from time to time, dating back as far as 1954, but only recently

has there been a well-designed study published showing that this is indeed the case. The results of this study, when widely known, can set many children free to enjoy the exuberance of childhood without pain. Researchers at the University of Palermo in Italy worked with 65 children with chronic constipation. All of these children had been treated with laxatives when dietary measures had failed. Even with the medical

treatment, these children were still constipated, having hard, painful stools only every 3 to 15 days. Forty-nine of their little bottoms had fissures and redness or swelling from the hard plugs of stool. During the study each child received either cows milk or alternative milk, such as rice, Almond or oat for 2 weeks, with no one knowing which was which. Next, they had a week during which they could eat and drink anything t h e y wanted to wash out the effects of the first 2 weeks. Then they switched sides for 2 weeks and got

CAN YOU imagine your life without stress? Any kind of stress leaves its mark on your mind and body. Even positive events such as a wedding or the birth of a child bring with them some stress and anxiety. Acupuncture is a proven and effective treatment for stress relief

and is becoming increasingly popular. Through unblocking channels with needles, the Qi in the body is able to flow freely in order to restore harmonious balance in the body. So you will find reprieve from physical symptoms, such as tense muscles, muscular pains

and high blood pressure which will allow you to feel refreshed and energised. More importantly, regular acupuncture treatments can help strengthen your body and improve the body’s immunity, so you’re able to deal with the day-to-day stresses of life more effectively.

Stress and anxiety relief

Treating the Root Causes of Allergies: Naturopathic Medicine seeks to address the root causes of disease, treat the whole person, and approach each person as a unique individual. Nutrition, homeopathy, herbal medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine can all be used to support the body’s innate ability to heal itself. In dealing with allergies, alternative/ complimentary Medicine seeks to identify the contributing factors and organ weaknesses that are leading to symptoms. It is often much more successful to use such ancient wisdom, rather than medication which only masks the symptoms, and possibly causes other unwanted side effects. the milk that they didn’t get the first time. Careful recordings of the bowel habits were made. When the secret code was broken at the end of the study, they found status quo constipation for each child while he or she was on cows milk. But while they were taking alternative milks 68% of these kids were no

longer constipated. It’s not that common for simple changes to relieve relentless, longstanding problems. But when a child is made miserable by an allergy, removing the source can result in a rapid, dramatic improvement in the quality of life, so it may be well worth considering if your child is suffering.

There is nothing more important than looking after your health to accomplish a thriving and vibrant life. To get outstanding health and energy Denise does private consultations in three clinics in West Sussex. She also teaches life changing health workshops and seminars for corporate companies and various health organisations all over the world.

Alternatively, acupressure/ Chinese massage can be applied to people who have a fear of needles. However, acupressure (massage) is often applied to clients after acupuncture in order to enhance the effectiveness of the treatment. In fact, in some cases, acupuncture being used to treat one condition can actually help detect another, more severe illness that has not been previously identified. In such cases, acupuncture aids in early diagnosis and treatment. Remember, acupuncture/ acupressure is just one method of relieving stress. It’s also important to learn positive and productive ways to cope with stress on a daily

basis, thereby combining them to help you enjoy a happier and healthier life. Dr Feng Wang is an associate of the ATCM and has been practising his profession for over 20 years. He has been volunteering at CancerWise in Chichester, which has helped to improve the health of many people. He also has his own clinic in Chichester city centre.

Swansea is most affordable place in the UK for Lidl to launch discount fashion DISCOUNT retailer Lidl clothing line highlights Lidl’s ongoing second steppers looking to buy first family house GERMAN is getting into the fashion game expansion scheme in the UK, as the SWANSEA is the most affordable place in the UK for second stepper couples looking to buy their first family home, with the average price of a house only 9.6% more than the average price of a flat, according to research carried out by property search engine, Placebuzz.com. Figures show that homeowners on the first rung of the property ladder in Swansea have the smallest percentage jump to the second rung. The average price of a one to two bedroom flat in Swansea is £133,561, compared to £146,448 for a terraced or semi-detached house. That’s a price difference of just £12,887, which is around 57% of the average annual salary in Swansea, which stands at £22,829 The problem of second stepping has forced couples across the UK to stay in their first properties, which are often flats, much longer than they would like. Placebuzz. com figures reveal towns and cities around the UK where the second step, from flat to a terraced or semidetached house, is the largest and

smallest. Only major towns and cities have been considered for this research. The east of England came out as the most affordable region of the country for second stepper couples, with Norwich and Ipswich featuring in the top three places for most affordable second stepper towns or cities. The average percentage price difference between a terraced/ semi-detached house compared to a flat in Norwich and Ipswich is 18.4% and 19.5% respectively. This compares with Edinburgh, which came out as being the least affordable place in the UK for second steppers based on the percentage difference between the price of a house versus a flat. Couples in Edinburgh looking to buy their first family home face a mammoth 124.7% extra or £180,285 more to purchase an average terraced/ semi-detached house (£324,874), compared to a one to two bedroom flat (£144,589). With the average salary in Edinburgh around £31,040, that extra cost to step up is

581% more than the average wage. Predictably, London is the least affordable city when you look at the actual amount of money required to jump from the first rung to the second rung of the ladder, with couples facing the prospect of having to find an extra £463,580 to move from a flat to their first house. That’s a staggering 1079% of the annual central London salary of £42,970, which explains why many couples have to move out of the capital to second step. Placebuzz.com

figures

reveal

that Scotland actually has the two least affordable places for second steppers, with Edinburgh closely followed by Dundee, where couples looking to buy their first family home are looking at an average additional cost of £79,089 to do so. Aberdeen and Glasgow also feature high up on the list, with average second steps of £101,718 and £53,040 respectively.

with the upcoming launch of its first fashion collection. From next week Monday, August 25, Lidl will offer its womenswear collection in stores across the country, which includes a faux leather jacket for 14.99 pounds, stretch jeans, in both skinny and regular fit for 6.99 pounds and long sleeved shirts for 3.99 pounds. Lidl will also offer footwear and will feature ankle boots for 9.99 pounds and flats for 6.99 pounds. The clothing collection will be stocked in a similar fashion to the non-food products Lidl offers in store, and will only be available while stocks last. Following the launch of the womenswear line, the German discounter is set to launch a menswear collection in stores on November 6. Although the discount retailer has offered basic clothing items in-store in the past, such as undergarments, T-shirts and tanks as well as childrens wear, this collection marks Lidl’s official entry into the fashion industry, with a complete women’s wear offering. Lidl is set to take on rival highstreet retailers, such as George, F&F, Primark with the introduction of its women’s wear collection. The

value-retailer continues to win over shoppers from more traditional supermarket chains like Tesco, Morrisons and Asda. The seasonal apparel offering at Aldi and Lidl has been well received in the UK, as many consumers are accustomed to purchasing clothing from a number of British supermarkets, like Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury’s. George by Asda recently overtook Marks & Spencer as the second largest clothing brand by volume in the UK, trumped only by Irish value fashion retailer Primark. Earlier this week Lidl launched its womenswear collection in Germany and its menswear collection in Cyprus alongside with an update sportswear offering and a rock inspired T-shirt line. Lidl is set to roll out its fashion collections to other countries, including Switzerland and France over the next few weeks. Last month saw fellow German discount retailer Aldi step into the fashion market with the launch of its value school uniforms. Lidl currently operates over 600 stores throughout the UK and aims to increase that number to 1500.

Google’s driverless cars to exceed speed limit

Daily rates start at just £30.00 + Vat, include insurance Hire for a minimum of one week and pay just £1

CAR HIRE

GOOGLE’S SELF-DRIVING CARS are programmed to exceed speed limits by up to 10mph (16km/h), according to the project’s lead software engineer. Dmitri Dolgov said that when surrounding vehicles were breaking the speed limit, going more slowly could actually present a danger, and the Google car would accelerate to keep up. Google’s driverless prototypes have been widely tested on roads in the US. The UK will allow driverless cars

on public roads from 2015. Google first announced its driverless car division in 2010, and has been testing its technology in modified cars built by other manufacturers. The cars have travelled on more than 300,000 miles of open road, mostly in California. In May, the US tech firm said it would start building its own selfdriving cars. The bubble-shaped vehicles will seat two people, propulsion will be electric, and to begin with they will

be limited to 25mph (40km/h) to help ensure safety. In July, the UK government announced that driverless cars will be allowed on public roads from January next year. In addition, ministers ordered a review of the UK’s road regulations to provide appropriate guidelines. This will cover the need for selfdrive vehicles to comply with safety and traffic laws, and involve changes to the Highway Code, which applies to England, Scotland and Wales. Commenting on Google selfdrive cars’ ability to exceed the speed limit, a Department for Transport spokesman said: “There are no plans to change speed limits, which will still apply to driverless cars”. In a separate development on Monday, the White House said it wanted all cars and light trucks to be equipped with technology that could prevent collisions. Radio signals emitted by the vehicles would allow them to “talk” to each other, and alert drivers to potential accidents.

Poor refereeing and class finishing lead to a Cup Exit Saturday 16 August 2014 FA Cup Chichester City 2 – 3 Mole Vally

CHICHESTER CITY made two changes from the side that beat Selsey in the week. Chichester were without goal scorer Graham Bush and club captain Peter Hibbert for the FA cup tie. This meant Joe Gromett started up top, Dan Hegarty provided cover at centre half and Harry Gilbert slotted into the middle. Chichester started brightly, and in the opening minute the lively Tom Groom fired wide of Gavin Dilleys’ left hand upright, having been played in by Frazer Smith, and on six minutes a long run by Ross Woolf ended with a disappointing shot, as Chichester looked to gain the early initiative. Mole Vally’s first effort on goal came on nine minutes. Michael Campbell was fouled on the edge of the area by Hegarty, but Harry Smart fired the free kick over the bar, and a couple of minutes later a neat knockdown by Chichester’s Gromett ended with a shot by Woolf flying

over the bar. Valley took the lead on 42 minutes, another poor refereeing decision went against the home side, a free kick was not awarded in Chichester favour after a blatant push from the Mole Vally striker on Chichester Hegarty. The lack of consistence lead to a corner being awarded for the visitors. The well worked corner was swung into the near post and left by everybody apart from Chris Hugill who sneaking in round the back post headed home from close range, to give Valley a half time lead. Mole Vally’s Rob McCarry was the next victim of the ref that was upto this level of football, McCarry found his way into the referees book on 46 minutes, for a foul on Edwards which was nothing more than a free kick. Five minutes in the half, and Chichester were level, a ball from the right was deflected up into the area, this visiting keeper came and missed his punch, allowing Gilbert to finish from close range. Chichester now had their tales

up, and a minute later a low cross by substitute Bradley Silvester, on for Groom, was turned wide by Edwards. Minutes later and Chichester’s Hegarty, and Valley’s Jackson both found their way into the book for once again nothing more than a foul. By this stage the referee had lost control of a good/honest game between two good sides. Chichester were undone by a defence splitting pass by Jackson sent Campbell away, and as Ender advanced, the striker chipped into the net. Substitute Brad Silvester continued where Groom had left off, and from a dangerous cross Gromett’s fierce drive towards goal was dealt with by the keeper superbly getting fingers to the ball and turn it over the bar. Midway through the half, and Chichester were reduced to 10 men, when Fowlie picked up his second yellow card, for a clash with the visiting captain. The ball hung in the air after a clearance and both players fairly challenge for the ball, a perfect example of a 50/50. Once again the

ref felt he needed to get involve, after no argument or persuasion for the visiting team and to the surprise of all in the ground Fowlie was sent off. Valley made their first change with 20 minutes to go, with Jackson being replaced by the returning Richard Monan, and a minute later it was 3-1. A free kick on the right was swung in by Oliver, and found Smart rising highest to head home. Chichester started to throw people forward, and with 10 minutes remaining, Valley picked up the first of three bookings they would pick up in the dying minutes, this time

Nathan Davey going into the book for a poorly timed challenge on Woolf. The resulting free kick drifted harmlessly wide of the post. With five minutes remaining, Frazer Smith started to cause problems, and Chichester were back in the contest as time ran out. A great ball by Hegarty reached Gromett, and he calmly rolled the ball into the net for 3-2. In all, Chichester were undone by some class finishing by Mole Vally and some poor refereeing. Somehow a well-mannered game saw 9 yellow cards and 1 red.

on the score sheet. In the field the Falcons struggled; fumbling routine plays and throwing the ball away numerous times allowed the Hurricanes to walk their way through to six runs by the third. However by then Dave Piesse had crushed a two run homer to put the Falcons up 18-6 to help settle things down in the away dugout, as a change of plan in the infield shored up the Falcons defense. A leftfield shift saw pitcher James Wheeler take up third base while Dave Morris moved to shortstop, immediately paying dividends as the Hurricanes batters could not adapt to make it past their bullet throws to Carrie Suhr, typically solid at first base. The fifth inning brought an astonishing softball rarity as Ben Sawkins orchestrated the Falcons’ first ever triple play. Three batters were retired with one at-bat as the Hurricanes no. 8, with two runners on, hit straight back to the Falcons pitcher, who was quick witted enough to catch the ball in the dirt (1 out). Having noticed the other baserunners already

advancing without tagging up on the catch, Sawkins whirled around and flipped the ball to Lucy Morris who stepped on second base to make a second out (2 out) before tagging out the runner from first (3 out). After a brief pause while the umpire caught up with the play, mayhem and delight ensued in the Falcons dugout as the third batter was finally punched out. The Falcons capped off the game with another eleven runs in the sixth, including another two home runs from Dave Piesse and James Wheeler, to effectively end the game 32-16, guaranteeing the Chichester side runners up place in the 2nd division. The Hurricanes will be deservedly promoted as 2nd division champions. Anyone
