So you actually want to know something about me? Why? Are you bored? Oh well. Just to satisfy your idle curiosity and my manic egotism I’ll tell you something about me!!! I am a 44-year-old guy, who lives in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire England. I was born in Lancashire, England, during September 1979. Most people don’t believe me that I was born in England due to my strong Scottish accent. My star sign is Libra. I am 5’9” tall, 30″ waist, with blonde hair, which is sometimes short, sometimes long. I have light brown eyes. Which most people think are very sexy. I just don’t see it, myself.

During most of the day today (Friday 6 May 2011) the Castle Bytham telephone exchange has been experiencing “connectivity problems” which has meant that most of those served by the exchange lost their broadband internet connection. You can monitor the situation in the future by checking out twitter.com/DemonStatus for updates.

This update to theBythams website was achieved via mobile broadband – probably a first for the site!

Two People Escape from Castle Bytham House Fire

Posted on May 5, 2011May 10, 2011 by Gordon

TheBythams was shocked by the news that an arsonist had attacked the home of an elderly couple, Peter and Sylvia Cox, in Castle Bytham during the early hours of Wednesday morning (4 May 2011). From comments already made in the May issue of the Glenside News, which Peter has edited for a number of years, this was the fourth of a series of similar incidents at the house. The Stamford Mercury report also suggests that this is not the only house in the village experiencing the same mindless activity. Hopefully Lincolnshire Police will bring those responsible to justice at the earliest opportunity.

If you have any information that you think would assist them with their enquiries please contact them on 0300 111 0300 or alternatively call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

Read more from the Grantham Journal website … “A vendetta against an elderly couple reached a new and horrifying level this week, as their home was ‘fire-bombed’. The cottage belonging to Peter and Sylvia Cox, in the peaceful village of Castle Bytham, was torched by an arsonist in the early hours of Wednesday morning. It is the fourth time the couple’s home has been targeted, and could result in an attempted murder charge for the culprit.”

Read more from the Stamford Mercury website … “An elderly couple had a dramatic escape after an arsonist set their village home on fire. The man and woman, aged 82 and 74, were rescued from their bedroom window in High Street, Castle Bytham, by neighbours at about 2am on Wednesday as their front room burned below them.”
