Quirky Rum’s first flavours are each inspired by a colourful historical smuggler. The Southampton-based business was founded by rum-loving friends Ben Quirk and Adrian Hall. Mr Quirk is head of production and Mr Hall is chief operating officer. Mr Quirk said: “At Quirky Rum, we have shaken off the shackles of creating a consistent product between batches, allowing us to change and improve recipes over time. “Working in small batches, we can focus on sourcing high-quality rums to gently spice and flavour. “This is rum with a difference. We do not over spice or add sugar to sweeten our spiced rums like most other brands on the market.

A man from Oldham has been jailed after he groomed and exploited a teenage girl online.
Thomas Johnstone (aged 23), of Walter Mills Way in Oldham, was sentenced yesterday (Tuesday) at Manchester Crown Court after pleading guilty to meeting a child following sexual grooming with the intention of engaging in penetrative sexual activity and causing and inciting a child to engage in non-penetrative sexual activity.
He was sentenced to 28 months imprisonment and a Sexual Harm Prevention Order has been imposed.
He will also be required to sign the Sex Offender’s Register for a period of 10 years.
In March 2020, Johnstone began communicating with his victim online and these conversations were sexual from the very beginning.
