A dirty protest pensioner remains defiant after tipping human excrement on the heads of a locksmith and bailiff. The unfortunate pair arrived at the home of Halifax resident John Skelton to evict him following non-payment of council tax. The old boy had been saving his own waste for a few days in anticipation of such a visit and opened a window when they knocked on the door. The unlucky locksmith looked up, took the mess full in the face and, not surprisingly, was promptly sick. Mr Skelton was arrested and charged with assault, but remains unapologetic for both the non-payment and the dirty protest, blaming the council's neglect for his late wife's early demise.

Locksmith sues Google over alleged 'click fraud' Seattle-based 123 Lock & Key says in its court papers that when it began advertising on a 'pay per click' scheme with Google it received around 15 clicks throughs a day, with around 8 out of 10 being followed up by a phone call. This level of activity remained stable for a period of months, then shot up to between 100 to 150 click throughs a day, often, it is claimed, with a flurry of clicks within a single minute.
