Sir Paul McCartney's split delights villagers

Sir Paul McCartney's neighbors in his home village are delighted he has split from Heather Mills.
The villagers of Peasmarsh, in southern England, say they never liked the former Beatle's second wife in the same way they were fond of his first wife, the late Linda McCartney.
One resident told Britain's Daily Express newspaper: "We never saw Heather in the village or at fetes. Linda used to get so involved in village life and community projects. She even launched her vegetarian food range here. She was well liked.
"We never really got to know Heather whereas Paul is the salt of the earth and part of community life."
Sir Paul split from Heather in May and the couple are currently embroiled in a bitter divorce battle. Heather is reportedly demanding £200 million of the music legend's £800 million fortune.
The singer spent £1 million building a Heather a dream lodge on the 160-acre estate in Peasmarsh, but Heather always preferred to spend time at their seaside home in nearby Hove, or in London.
