A town's mayor was convicted of stalking yesterday after penning unwanted love letters to a barmaid he'd become infatuated with - but accidentally sending them to the wrong woman. Police were left in no doubt who they were from as Graham Roberts, 72, included his business card, confirming him as first citizen of Whitehaven, Cumbria. The woman who received the letters took them to the police and Roberts - who describes himself as a lifelong Conservative - was arrested at his home in the town.
