Anger as diner 'puts own hair on plate to get free meal'

Tom Croft, the owner of a pub in Lancashire, has spoken to the BBC after discovering that a pub diner, who was refunded the cost of their meal, appeared to plant hair on a plate in CCTV footage.

He said that the lady in question had dined at the Observatory in Blackburn before "kicking up a fuss" to bar staff.

Mr Croft revealed he found out about the alleged dining deception after reviewing the video to check if the pub had done anything wrong.
