Garage left blood-soaked after Christmas attack

By Michael MacLeod

A MAN who smashed a garage worker’s teeth and glasses on Christmas Day has been ordered to pay compensation to his victim.

Drunken yob Jaime Anderson, 22, was angry that he had to be served through a hatch at the Esso garage near Edinburgh Airport.

He barged into the petrol station and grabbed worker Kevin Turnbull by the head before slamming his face into his knee.

Mr Turnbull’s colleague hit the panic button and police arrived to find blood spilled over the Newbridge filling station forecourt, while Anderson was found staggering down the road nearby.

Yesterday (Tues) court heard that his victim still hasn’t been able to afford the dental work or new glasses he needs, prompting a Sheriff to demand Anderson stumps up the £600.

Mums queue for back to school sparkle

Biju prepares to treat a patient

DESPERATE mums are queuing up to have their teeth whitened before the school term starts – so that they can look their best in the back-to-school pictures.

One dentist in Edinburgh has claimed that he has had women rushing to his surgery for veneers and teeth whitening.

And he reckons the demand is down to the proud mum’s hoping that their smile sparkles when they pose up with their children.

Dr Biju Krishnan said his surgery has seen four times the number of women coming in to get their teeth down and has been booked solid for the past month as a result.
