Newsagent forced out by whistling
AN OUTRAGED shopkeeper is selling his business after being tormented by a crazy whistling campaign.
Salvatore Caminito says he has been forced out by the tuneless 'conspiracy' against him.
As many as five people a day whistle in front of Mr Caminito as word about his whistling hatred has quickly spread.
Locals make his life a misery by heading for his newsagents shop in West Street, Fareham, to plague him with their melodies.
Mr Caminito, 56, said: 'There is a conspiracy against me and I have got sick of it. My health is suffering.
'People come in and whistle and it's just to bother me because they know I don't like it. They do it on purpose.'
Derek Ayres, 50, of Park Walk, Fareham, was innocently caught up in the whistling war after stopping off to spend more than £80 on cigarettes.
He said: 'He just came from behind the counter and put his hands up in front of me and said, "Please leave. I don't serve people who whistle".
'It wasn't any particular tune, just whistling to myself. I thought he was messing around, but he was serious and made me leave.'

Well, as far as conspiracies go, I've heard far worse...
