“I agree, ""Wintersdale road is not in thurnby lodge, it's in lodge farm estate". It is in Evington. Once again Leicester Mercury's minor mistake. Sounds a little strange, the burglars forced their way in and walked back like nothing happened. I thought they would've either ran or used a car.”

“''All three were thought to be of Eastern European appearance.''
British tax payers are now paying around £90m annualy to house approx 2400 Eastern European prisoners.
On the brighter side though, we may win the 'City Of Culture' award...”
