Notorious rambler-hater and properly millionaire Nicholas van Hoogstraaten has been sentenced to ten years in prison for manslaughter.

Van Hoogstraaten won a special place in walkers' hearts when he blocked a footpath running through the grounds of his country house in Sussex. During the still to be resolved dispute over the right of way, he called ramblers 'scum' and 'flashers'.

The 57-year-old business man was found guilty of the manslaughter of a business associate.

Full details on the BBC news web site. We wouldn't, of course, say anything derogatory about Mr Van Hoogstraten, but you might...

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

Although, he deserved more.
10 years for his inflated sense of importance would have been a start.

Better that nowt, though, but forgive me if I don't pop open the bubbly just yet, he is appealing and he DOES have all that money to talk with.

I wonder if he'll go to Lincoln Gaol?
