Pajamas Banned in UK Supermarket Tesco, Angry Shoppers Call Dress Code 'Snobbish'
UK supermarket chain Tesco is laying down the law with a new dress code banning bare feet and "nightwear," the Daily Mail reports.To avoid causing embarrassment to others we ask that our customers are appropriately dressed when visiting our store (footwear must be worn at all times and no nightwear is permitted)," signs posted at the store's entrance reportedly say."We do not have a strict dress code but we don't want people shopping in their nightwear in case it offends other customers," a Tesco spokesman told the source."We're not a nightclub with a strict dress code, and jeans and trainers [sneakers] are of course more than welcome. We do, however, request that customers do not shop in their PJs or nightgowns."
Teenage girl given life for cigarette row murder
A teenage girl has been jailed for life for killing a Fife grandmother during a row over £5 and a borrowed cigarette.Nicolle Earley - one of Scotland's youngest female murderers - was 16 when she killed Ann Gray in her home in Crosshill on 14 November 2008.At the High Court in Edinburgh, Earley, now 18, was ordered to serve a minimum of 14 years in prison. The victim's family said the sentence was "a joke" and said Earley should have had a minimum term of 30 years. Mrs Gray, 63, died as a result of a head injury after she was knocked to the ground and repeatedly stamped on. Earley pleaded guilty to the murder last month. Judge Lady Dorrian said she had reduced the minimum sentence from 15 years because of Earley's guilty plea. The judge said: "There is only one sentence I can pass following a plea of guilty to murder and that is detention for life." Outside court, Mrs Gray's daughters said they hoped Earley would never be freed from custody.
Anne-Marie McLeod, 44, said she was "very angry" following the hearing.Ms McLeod said she would have liked to have seen a minimum sentence of 20 to 30 years for her mother's murder. Unemployed Earley was living with her grandmother, who stayed in the same street as Mrs Gray and was friends with the victim, at the time of the murder. Advocate depute Morag Jack said that on the day before the fatal attack Mrs Gray had apparently borrowed a cigarette from Earley on the understanding she would get two in return the next day. Mrs Gray was pushed to the ground and suffered a fractured jaw and broken cheek bone along with a fractured bone in her upper neck. Defence solicitor advocate Gordon Martin said Earley, who has a previous conviction for assault, came from "a particularly troubled background" and was involved in trouble at school.
