Spain will waste €300 million by putting the clocks back by one hour according to calculations by the Institute for the Diversification and Saving of Energy (IDAE). By abandoning this move from Summer Time to Winter Time, the evenings (when people are more active) would remain lighter for one hour and could ensure a reduction in energy consumption of around 5 per cent. In theory the decision to introduce Summer Time was to give more light to farmers at the height of their sowing and harvesting times but there are two interesting facts about Spain, as during the Civil War, both sides observed different time zones and even today, the Canary Islands are one hour ahead of the rest of Spain. “Car cannibalism” is the latest crime wave to hit England’s streets with parked cars being stripped of components overnight. According to a report by broadcaster LBC, cars are being broken into and then stripped of body and engine parts, with Yorkshire and the Midlands said to be worst hit.Most commonly broken into and stripped are Vauxhall Corsas and Toyota Yaris’ according to information obtained by the broadcaster. The Bank of England was kept in the dark about the contents of the huge 'mini-Budget' that sent the markets into meltdown, it was revealed today. Deputy governor Jon Cunliffe said officials were not 'fully briefed' in advance about the package of £45billion of tax cuts, as would normally happen. Jessica Baker, 20, has avoided jail after she struck her boyfriend's ex in the head with a stiletto shoe-shaped designer perfume bottle during an ugly row in a Poundbury park . A children's home has been ordered to improve after extraordinary failings saw a manager buying a tattoo gun for one child - which they used to permanently ink another – and staff being slow to stop a young resident making a flamethrower. The centre, which cannot be named but is registered in Leicester, was today revealed to be the site of a series of worrying incidents. At one point – just three months ago – staff were threatened by a child who had made his own weapon to menace them. They had used an aerosol can and a cigarette lighter to fashion a homemade flamethrower. In another troubling incident the home manager bought a tattoo gun for one of the children. They then used it to permanently ink another child, despite the fact both were supposed to be under 2:1 supervision. The director of a cryotherapy firm used by elite Premier League football teams has won more than £20,000 at a tribunal - despite being sacked for installing a cryo-chamber that leaked deadly gases which ‘could have led to fatalities’.David Morris stepped in to fit one of the £80,000 chambers as the company’s engineer was unavailable. A lawyer who left a businesswoman feeling suicidal after he sent a video of them having sex to her work colleagues has avoided prison. David West, 38, gained access to the footage when he submitted a digital access request after claiming he was preparing for a defamation case.
