Lemonade stand girl, 5, inundated with business offers
The father of a five year old girl, who was threatened with a fine for setting up a lemonade stand outside her house, says she鈥檚 been inundated with offers from places who want to host her stall.
Andre Spicer told 5 live鈥檚 Weekend Breakfast programme that his daughter had received offers from festivals, supermarkets and London鈥檚 Borough Market.
鈥淲e should be encouraging our kids to get out there and give things a go. To try out things like making a stand, or show short films they've made. Something, rather than just having them indoors all the time,鈥 Mr Spicer added.
Tower Hamlets Council has since apologised for issuing the fixed penalty notice and cancelled the fine.
