THIS is the woman who tried to ruin the Cricket World Cup celebrations in Taunton.

Jane Marie Butcher damaged a postbox that had been painted white to mark the town's hosting of three matches in the tournament.

Butcher, 38, of Triscombe Road, Taunton, partially painted the North Street postbox grey before World Cup fever had died down.

Somerset County Gazette:

Magistrates jailed her for a week for the offence.

Royal Mail has since restored the postbox to its all-white glory.

Butcher faces a 36-week stretch behind bars for a catalogue of crimes committed across the county town.
