Row over £4,000 bill for a blocked pipe and flooded back yard

Terry Court, 57, and her neighbours John (right, pictured today), 60, and Bernadette Van Dijk, 47, disputed who was to blame for flooding in the back yard of the Van Dijks' home (left) in York, North Yorkshire. They claimed work Mrs Court had done in 2007 effectively blocked off their access to the private sewer between their homes - and they then found rainwater flooding into their back yard. But it was another three years before it was fixed, sparking a five-year legal battle which has run up legal fees topping £300,000 for a case which could have settled for just over £4,000.

Remain campaign opens up new 13% lead in EU battle as Leave dwindles

The poll (left) found men, pensioners and Tory voters are snubbing Brexit, suggesting Vote Leave - which is spearheaded by Boris Johnson (right) - is failing to win over key voters. Sir Lynton Crosby, the polling strategist who masterminded David Cameron's surprise general election last year, warned the campaign to leave the EU is 'dwindling' and has 'failed to quell ongoing concerns about the financial and economic consequences of a Brexit'. The ORB poll, for the Daily Telegraph , showed the Remain campaign on 55 per cent and Leave trailing on 42 per cent among those who said they will definitely vote. The lead is even bigger among all voters, with Remain on 58 per cent and Brexit on 38. In March the ORB poll found a majority of 60 per cent of Conservative voters were backing Brexit, while only a third (34 per cent) said they were for Remain.

Steve Hilton, who masterminded Mr Cameron's bid for Downing Street, said the claim that family breaks to Europe could be £230 more expensive was 'like a parody'.

Former university lecturerhas a clear out after 30 years of hoarding

Elizabeth Eaton (pictured, inset), 59, needed more than three skips to get rid of the mounds of rubbish she had collected in 30 years of hoarding Her problem had got so out of control it had left her three-bed semi so cluttered (top and bottom left) she could barely move. Her staunch refusal to get rid of anything meant her rooms were buried under five feet of possessions - most of which were not even originally hers. The three-piece suite in her living room was completely submerged by clutter - with so much crammed into her home that junk had started to spill out of her letterbox onto the street. It was only then - after three decades of hoarding, and literally no space to welcome any guests into her home - Elizabeth realised she needed to see someone. She said: 'At that point I realised I really needed help sorting it out.' Her home has now been cleared (top and bottom right) a job that took ten days to complete.

Body parts retrieved from MS804 crash site suggest there was an EXPLOSION on board, says

The official is part of the investigation team that has personally examined the body parts taken to a Cairo morgue.
