SOLICITOR Mr Robert Fielding brought a block­ buster romantic film to life when he decid­ ed to take a year out

good English and is very very popular with every­ body, "Unfortunately her


parents were unable to obtain passports to be able to be at the wed­ ding. It is very difficult to obtain passports in China. You can get them for business reasons, and Charlie was able to get one because she was studying insurance." In the absence of her

Farmer declares his land independent republic as a protest


SLAID BURN farmer Mr Paul Kenny has declared his land "an independent republic" in a defi­ ant stand against the Govern­ ment's handling of the foot and


mouth crisis. Mr Kenny (52), of Standridge


Farm, has repeatedly refused to allow Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs officials on to


his land. The farmer's stance, claims


DEFRA, has delayed the lifting of the D notice movement restrictions which have been in place throughout the


area. On Monday, Clitheroe police offi­


cers accompanied DEFRA vets who


were finally given access to the dairy farm to test two lambs for signs of the


virus. This week, Mr .Kenny said he
