Metric Martyr


In 2004 Steve Thoburn of Sunderland tragically died in his wife's arms following a massive heart attack. He went to the grave a criminal... his crime was to sell a pound of bananas. After two appeals against the conviction, both of which were refused, the sheer stress caused the fatal heart attack at the age of 39. So technically he died a criminal. Now the EU has agreed that Britain can keep our pounds and ounces after all, so Steve's wife, friends and supporters have a campaign going to ask for a Royal Pardon.
