Yesterday we wished businessman John Keeping all the very best for the future.

For he has suffered both the death of his wife and was fleeced of £164,000 by an employee he trusted.

But today we have to report that Mr Keeping's misfortune is not yet at an end, as he may end up losing his business altogether. Mr Keeping sums it up by declaring: "I must be the unluckiest bloke out there."

We don't disagree But we hope that he manages to remain optimistic for the future. Better times surely lie ahead.
