    Neath the greatest city in the world

    Scorned man denies brake sabotage

    A man has denied cutting the brake pipe in a car driven by a woman who had begun a lesbian relationship with his wife, Swansea Crown Court has heard.

    Bryan Bamford, 56, from Neath, south Wales, is accused of using pliers to cut the pipe in Emma Bedford's car.

    Mr Bamford (below) has denied causing criminal damage with intent to endanger life.

    He claimed he had left a spare set of car keys at the marital home and that Ms Bedford cut the pipe herself and then planted the pliers in his car.

    "I have been stitched up," he told the jury.

    The trial on Monday heard that Mr Bamford's wife Karen and Miss Bedford were in the car when they realised the brakes were not working.

    'Car skidded'

    Miss Bedford, who was driving in Neath on the morning of 11 February with Mrs Bamford in the passenger seat, was forced to swerve into a side road and stop by using the handbrake.

    The court was told that Mrs Bamford, a hotel receptionist, later examined the car and found that potatoes had been stuffed into the exhaust pipe and also noticed the brake fluid reservoir was empty.

    She called the police who found a brake pipe had been severed.

    Mr Bamford, who is unemployed, denied tampering with the Ford Escort, but when police searched his own car they found a pair of pliers which a forensic scientist concluded that there was "conclusive evidence" had been used to cut the pipe.

    He told the jury on Tuesday how he had found his wife and Ms Bedford, a supermarket assistant, kissing on the sofa.

    "I was in absolute shock, angry and upset," he said.

    "She said she liked the attention Emma gave her. I thought 'No, she can't be that way inclined.'"

    Mr Bamford moved out and Miss Bedford moved in the following day, the court heard.

    He told the jury: "I did not see it as threatening. I knew my wife was not a lesbian and thought it would die a natural death."

    Mr Bamford said in January his wife agreed to a reconciliation and he moved back into the family home in Neath.

    But Miss Bedford remained there, moving onto an airbed in a downstairs room.

    "Karen said she would finish with Emma and that she would tell her tomorrow. But tomorrow never came," he added.

    The trial is expected to end on Wednesday.

    I once knew a Karen Bamford.

    But it wasn't this one.

    End of very dull story.

      You could try stuffing a potato up her exhaust pipe anyway.

        Ah, some people just can't recognise a good thing when they see it. Sharing a house with two lesbians? God man, why weren't you there with a camera and roll of kitchen towel???

          You would have to put a bag over both their heads. Still, you don't look at the mantelpiece when you're oiling the poker.

            He's no oil painting himself, and just to throw in another cliche; beggars can't be choosers. Unless he is secretly Hugh Hefner, the chances of two stunning 18-year-old lesbians shacking up with him are slim, so he might as well make the most of nature's bounty

                Words of wisdom indeed from both Slave and Gunman. Now, where are those topless photos of the swamp donkey and John Prescott?

                  brake pipe cutting story

                  The best "brake pipe cutting" story I read was about someone who didn't get on with his neighbour so decided to cut his brake pipe. The neighbour had an Austin Maxi with hydrolastic suspension. He cut the suspension pipe instead of the brake pipe, the suspension collapsed and crushed his head - killing him.
