A council has painted what is believed to be Britain's shortest ever set of double yellow lines - measuring just 17 inches.

James Little, 56, who is landlord of the Alexandra Tavern in the street, said he was shocked to see the lines had appeared opposite his pub last week. He said: 'I thought the country was skint - but it appears that people can still spend money on daft things like this. 'There just doesn't seem any point in having such short lines.

Will Obama send U.S. citizens to Guantanamo? Outrage as President signs off law to detain home-grown terror suspects indefinitely By MEGHAN KENEALLY Last updated at 4:31 PM on 15th December 2011 Comments (1) Share President Barack Obama faces a massive civil liberties backlash after he signed a law that will allow terror suspects to be held indefinitely- even raising the prospects of U.S. citizens being sent to Guantanamo Bay. By allowing Americans arrested on U.S. soil to be sent to Guantanamo, the laws of the battlefield are essentially extended to include the country's own citizens as within its reach. The move shows a cle…
