Her credit card provider Citibank billed her for February and March for their annual service charges, plus they also added late fees and interest on the monthly charge.

Happy Ziggy, the dancing street cleaner in Chiswick

Zbigniew Colbecki, or Ziggy as he’s known to friends is the dancing sensation on the street of London. The 47-year-old street cleaner in Chiswick, who moved to London from Poland three years ago dances to more than 1,500 songs on his iPod during his shift, said:

“I am used to performing and I get a great reaction from people in Chiswick. Mothers stop with their children and dance with me and one old lady phoned the council to say she wanted to take me for a cup of tea on my break. I just improvise, watching my shadow on the pavement and my reflection in the shop windows. It is very tiring because I dance up to seven hours-a-day six-days-a-week but it is good exercise.”
