Jade ‘falls in’ to sample life as an Army chef


BUDDING chefs sampled new rations being eaten by soldiers on the frontline in Afghanistan.


Clitheroe’s Jade Waywell (18), who is studying catering at Nelson and Colne College, visited Army chefs at Fulwood Barracks, Preston, with fellow students. Through a partnership between the


college and the Army’s catering staff, students on the NVQ Level 3 Food Preparation Course were invited to see how the .^ ^ y keeps its troops fed while on operational duties.


They were shown some of the new


British Army multi-climate rations, which are now being trialled by soldiers


in Afghanistan. Thess come in 20 menu options, including halal, vegetarian and Sikh/Hindu ranges. Packed with nutn- ents and calories to keep a soldier going for 24 hours in the oppressive heat of Afghanistan, the rations got the thumbs-up from the students. The teenagers also got a chance to see


how Army chefs cook imaginative menus for the troops in the field, inside tents and using a wide range of ingredi­ ents available to them. Jade (right) is pictured with fellow


student Gage Hubbard (17) and chef Corporal Sean Springett, at Fu -

business studies student Christopher Getty used a number of methods to ^ cheat his bosses and over a six-week period stole more than £500. Getty (19), of Standen Road,


Clitheroe, pleaded guilty to theft of cash and DIY goods from Clitheroe Decorating Centra He was made sub­ ject to community supervision for 12 months and ordered to pay £425 in compensation. The court heard that Getty removed cash from the till, charged customers the full amount and rang through a lesser amount, refunded cash to his own credit card.


reduced the debt on his own account with the shop and removed property without paying for it. The methods he used were identified from CCTV footage and by cross checking till receipts and returns ledgers. _ Mr Imran Hussain (defending) said


his client accepted it was a serious offence of dishonesty over a period of time. “He is humiliated by his offend­ ing,” said Mr Hussain. “The only other person working in the store was his employer so clearly suspicion was not cast on anyone else.” Mr Hussain said his client, who was


studying for a business diploma at Burnley College, had not used the money to fund a lavish lifestyle. “He found himself in financial diffi­


culties and was using the money to pay off debts,” said Mr Hussain.
