By Simon Read Verified| The Sun Verified BREWDOG’S James Watt is launching a £2million reality TV show after twice being rejected by business programme Dragons’ Den. He told The Sun his fledgling firm was turned down as a competitor in 2009 when he hoped to go on the show and attract a £100,000 investment. A few years later he auditioned to be one of the Dragons — but was spurned after a BBC screen test.
£3.4billion electricity 'superhighway' between Scotland and England will go ahead after Ofgem’s approval
By Simon Read Verified| The Scottish Sun Verified A £3.4BILLION electricity “superhighway” between Scotland and England will go ahead after receiving regulator Ofgem’s approval. The 311-mile link from Aberdeenshire to North Yorkshire is the biggest single investment for power transmission infrastructure in Britain. And the cables, mostly undersea, will carry enough renewable energy to power two million homes. They will run from Peterhead in Aberdeenshire to Drax in North Yorkshire and be able to carry electricity in both directions.
