Although my London grandad was only a trucker after the war. Before it, he worked in a tongue-packing factory

My granddads were a miner and a trucker. One nan was a school cleaner, and the other terrified shopkeepers.

Man who rang 999 to complain about an assault from three geese and a duck gets a suspended sentence David Kerr (43) was bitten below the knee when he tried to β€˜usher’ them off a road

He’s narrowly escaped doing bird. Bonus: The court reporter’s name.

Were watching a nostalgic "Drop the Dead Donkey".

Filmed at a time when the Americans were invading the Middle East on a dodgy basis, in an operation that looked like it was succeeding very quickly, and would deliver just what they wanted.

Thank goodness life has changed.

Given Easter was a first name, and Christmas is a surname, logically there must somewhere have been an Easter Christmas
