Splitting the bill

Kishore Nimmala and Fakhara Sultana met at the Ruby Blue Bar in Leicester Square He had already spent £54 on two rounds of drinks when he asked her to pay for a third As the pair walked to the station, he allegedly stole the woman's white Blackberry A man stole a woman's mobile phone to 'teach her a lesson' after she refused to buy a round of drinks and said she had expected him to pay for their first date at an expensive London bar, a jury was told. Kishore Nimmala, 32, had already spent £54 on two rounds of drinks at a stylish Leicester Square nightspot when he asked Fakhara Sultana to pay for a third. But he lost his temper when she told him she had no money, Southwark Crown Court heard. The pair left the Ruby Blue bar when Nimmala allegedly become angry and Ms Sultana, whom he had met on online dating website Zoosk, told him she was going home. As she walked to Charing Cross Underground station, Nimmala is accused of snatching her white Blackberry phone and running off with it. Helen Thomas, prosecuting, said: 'This case is about a first date that goes badly wrong. 'Ms Sultana informed to defendant that she didn't have any money with her and that she had assumed that he would be paying for the evening. 'At that point the defendant became angry and so their evening together came to an abrupt close.' The couple then made their way to Charing Cross station with Nimmala allegedly badgering his date for her share of the cash on the way. The court heard that when Ms Sultana took her phone from her bag, Nimmala 'grabbed it' and ran. 'Ms Sultana screamed after the defendant and ran after him,' said Ms Thomas.

'When asked why he ran away the defendant said "she took my money" adding "I took her phone",' Ms Thomas told jurors. In police interview Nimmala told officers that he had spent £54 and he 'wanted her to pay her share'. 'He claimed that she was trying to cheat him and when she got her phone out he took it thinking that she would give him her share of the evening,' Ms Thomas said. 'The prosecution case is that the defendant was fed up having shelled out money on a date that was going nowhere and he decided to teach Fakhara Sultana a lesson by stealing her mobile phone out of spite and causing her maximum inconvenience in doing so.' The court heard that Nimmala does not deny taking the phone without permission, but that the issue is whether or not he did so dishonestly and with the intention to permanently deprive her of the device. Nimmala from Leyton, east London, denies one count of theft. The trial continues. Anyway what do you lot think about first dates should the man pay or should it be split ? Personally i only pay full price when going out if you are my woman or my wife . Other than that its half each .
