A Sark shop worker says she will have to turn off some of the store's freezers due to electricity prices almost doubling.

Mr Witney-Price, has said he has always acted in the best interests of Sark residents and says Chief Pleas has forced his hand by not meeting with him face-to-face to discuss other ways to settle their disagreement.

Christopher Beaumont, Seigneur of Sark, said the fact Mr Witney-Price had added a second levy to prepare for a challenge that might happen some time in the future showed he anticipated the price commissioner finding the first levy unfair and unreasonable.

“I think it’s going to be a combination of a little bit of Sark, a little bit of Jimbo, a little bit of frickin’ Alabama,” Sal Sunseri said, “because he knows one thing, that you’ve got to be able to run the ball and you’ve got to be able to hit explosives.”

Sark was liberated a day later, while Alderney, where most of the islanders had been forced to leave their homes, could not return until 15 December 1945.
