INLAND REVENUE JAILED????

Reporter: Ben Kovengland
Solicitor Ian MacFarlane has spent the last seven years diverting over £800,000 of his company's money into a bogus account he created. He set up this account in the bogus name of Ian Revue and wrote company cheques to himself, passing them off as cheques to the Inland Revenue. His scam involved pocketing customer's stamp duty and using the money to pay for holidays, property deals, tax bills, and school charges amongst other things. His manager, Mr Bartholemew Claysbank, who likes to be called just "Bar", said "His actions are dispicable. I just don't know how comeone can have the nerve to change their name and do something like that. Especially as his name doesn't even really look that close to Inland Revenue. I'd have hoped my employees had shown more imagination than that."


NEW WBO CHAMPION!!!

Reporter: G. Drury
In a shocking twist to the change of the WBO boxing title rules, a manager of a local town's leisure centre has become the Intercontinental Welterweight Champion. As recently announced, the beltt operates under 24/7 rules and the title is held by the last person to wear the belt. He aquired the belt through some inginius cunning rarely seen in the world of boxing. When at one stage the belt was left unattended, he walked up and put it on. Now he has his first championship belt. When asked for a quote he replied "I'm looking forward to more sports adopting this type of change to the rules. I'm hoping I can get the world cup next year."
