GOLDING DINES AT ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT AFTER WINNING A Q MUSIC AWARD

The Specials legend Lynval Golding celebrated scooping the prestigious Q Inspiration Award by tucking in to an all-you-can-eat buffet in Coventry.
The 58-year-old was presented with the gong by Back to Black singer Amy Winehouse at the star-studded Q awards ceremony in London last week.
But, rather than celebrate the achievement in a top restaurant in the capital, he chose to rush back to Coventry for an all-you-can-eat buffet.
The 2-Tone star tucked into a £7.99 meal at the Taybarns restaurant in Walsgrave, with his glistening trophy by his side.
He had shunned the after-show party on Monday to satisfy his hunger in his home city.
Lynval said: “As soon as Amy gave us the award I shot off. I didn’t hang around for the party.
“We were all starving and wanted to get back here for the buffet. We’re in here all the time – we live only round the corner.”
Mark McMenemy, Taybarns Coventry general manager, said: “We are delighted that such a musical legend chose to celebrate with us and it just goes to show that we really do offer something for everyone here at Taybarns.”
The Q Awards are the UK’s annual music awards, which have been held since 1990 and are run by the music magazine Q.

CAUGHT RED HANDED

A CASH box that was stolen outside a bank left a trail of red dye as the robber fled the scene.

The incident occurred at around 3.20pm on Monday October 5.

A security guard was leaving the Allied Irish Bank, in Eaton Road, when he was approached by a man who threatened him, before stealing a cash box and drove off in a purple Cherokee Jeep.

A security mechanism was activated in the cash box covering the cash in red dye.

The offender made off onto the Coventry ring road where the vehicle was seen with red dye coming from it.

The vehicle was later abandoned in Sandpiper Road, Aldermans Green.

The offender is described as a white male in his 20s with short, dark brown hair.

Anyone who witnessed the robbery or anyone with information is urged to call Little Park Street police station on 0845 113 5000 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
