As 101 Dalmatians’ villain Cruella de Vil gets her own backstory, we look at movies that enhanced (and ruined) some of the most famous characters in film
THE closure of a major road on the outskirts of Worcester is causing heavy traffic in the city today. Temeside Way shut on Friday night and will remain closed until 5.30am tomorrow morning when traffic can start using a section of the Carrington Bridge. The closure means there is currently no access to the A4440 between Ketch roundabout and Powick roundabouts, which has caused major delays this weekend. A lane closure is also currently in place in Deansway due to roadworks. Some residents have expressed their frustration on Twitter. Didn’t take long for Worcester to grind to a halt again post lockdown. One road closure is enough to cause absolute chaos in this city. pic.twitter.com/Eek2uRkV0p Tim Clarke (@TJClarke ) May 16, 2021

While visiting friends in the summer of 2016, they mentioned that they’d recently bought land in Sicily and would be harvesting olives in October. What? Harvesting olives in October! We flew to Catania to meet up with them in the village of Graniti. Night time when we picked up our rental car. No GPS with the car or on our not-smart phones. Plus roundabouts typically had a dozen signs pointing every which way, making for a few circuits around them to find the one we needed. We slowly thrashed our way toward Graniti, and were finally flagged down by our friend mercifully standing in the middle of village road waving her arms.
