like thousands of others right across the country, the weekly accounts just hadn't added up. in west yorkshire, gillian howard had taken over the post office from her husband when he suffered a stroke. the auditors arrived and the sums didn't add up. gillian told the inquiry today she didn't know where to turn. at that point, i considered ending my life. i talked to myself and i thought about my family and i thought about graham, and i knew i'd got to return and face whatever they was going to find. a court summons arrived for gillian on the day of her daughter's wedding. we were all robbed of that wedding day. robbed. each day of this public inquiry will bring equally devastating stories to light, of thousands of lives ruined by the post office's decision to blame their staff rather than question their software. coletta smith, bbc news.
