I'd
rather sell dresses to men
A
teacher has quit the classroom to sell stilettos and false breasts
to transvestites. Katie Oak, 26, from Prestwich, says she would
rather earn less money working for a company selling goods to cross
dressers than teach in stressful British schools. Now
the experienced language teacher has sent a warning to Education
Secretary David Blunkett. |

Last
piece in the jigsaw
THE
£100m transformation of Manchester's Arndale Centre - the
last piece in the city centre rebirth jigsaw - could he held up
if pensioner Derek Newton refuses to move.
He is one of 100 city centre dwellers whose dream apartments with
rooftop gardens tucked at the back of the centre will have to be
demolished. Manchester
city planners have given the revamp the green light, but only if
Derek and his neighbours are happily re-housed. |

war over old battleground

is now a robbers' escape route. On one side are residents in Rusholme,
Manchester who want the footpath closed in an attempt to cut down
crime. And
on the other is the Open Spaces Society which is campaigning to
keep the path named Dead Man's Entry open. |

Deadly
tyres scandal
ROGUE
garages are putting lives at risk - by selling dangerous tyres.
A survey shows that four out of 10 garages in Wigan sold "potential
death trap" part-worn tyres. Eighty
per cent failed to follow the law even after they were warned that
they would be watched, say Trading Standards.
One tyre bought by an officer had a nail in it. |
