Cheshire pub owners have been sent a cheque and letter to say sorry for theft that happened more than 20 years ago. Frances Cunningham, landlady of the Swettenham Arms in Cheshire read the letter to World Cup Breakfast. She read "I was involved in a burglary at your business in 1992, I didn't break in or smash up the cigarette machine but I was there and I went in. I am very, very sorry. I did not realise the seriousness of my actions at the time". The cheque, posted with the letter, was for £100 which will be donated to the local church. This clip is from World Cup Breakfast, 1 July 2014.
