Bottle of Love

Love and marriage - via message in bottle
LONDON, Sun - Twenty-year-old Elizabeth Kaye was married yesterday to the boy she caught with a lemonage bottle 10 years ago.
The bottle with a message, thrown into the sea off the Yorshire coast, washed up at the feet of 13-year-old Erik Brekke in Hyide Sande, Denmark.
A pen-pal friendship started and blossomed into romance after they met in 1963. Later that year Erik asked Elizabeth to become his bride.
After the ceremony, Elizabeth said: "It's almost like a fairy story. I never expected the bottle to arrive anywhere, never mind receiving a reply like I did."

LONDON, Sun - A British instrument-making firm said here last night their insurers would be "confidently resisting" a £1,500.000 claim by the state-owned British European Airways arising from a comet jet airliner crash in Turkey three years ago.
B.E.A. said on Friday, it would sue the instrument firm, S. Smith and Sons (England) Ltd., to cover passengers' claims and the loss of the aircraft's hull.
The crash killed 27 people.
A spokesman for Smith's said they were fully insured against the risk, and added: "Apart from the legal issue involved there is now considerable doubt as to whether the Smith's director horizon, in which a screw is alleged to have been loose, had anything to do with the accident."
