Wine Investment, Safety Deposit Boxes and After Beeching
New Wine self-regulator promises to combat investment fraud; Bank loses family jewels; and the kids hotel.
Four wine investment businesses have come together to launch a self regulation body for the industry but are they made of the right stuff to bring comfort to investors who have lost £100 million in the last five years? A Dorset family were shocked to discover that their bank had lost their safety deposit box containing the family jewels.Some teenagers in Burnley were given the chance to run 100 bed hotel for the day; it's part of a scheme to promote careers in hospitality. Caz Graham went along. Fifty years ago Dr Beeching took his axe to thousands of railways lines; some have disappeared under development, others are even being revived but in some of our national parks the old lines are key to a boom in tourism Simon Browning reports from the Tissington Trail.

Wine Investment Association
In the course of an interview with Peter Shakeshaft of the Wine Investment Association, Winifred said that, despite claims in his press releases and website, he has no partnership with the NationalÌýFraud Investigation Bureau. That’s what the Bureau’s Director -Ìý Detective Superintendent Dave Clark - told us.
Mr Shakeshaft countered that the Bureau had itself put out a press release still on its website confirming the partnership. He was right, it was there. It isn’t any longer. The National Fraud Investigation Bureau told us Superintendent Dave Clark’s statement– that there is no partnership - is accurate. The press release has been removed from the Bureau’s website.
