Detectives in Kent believe the body of a man found in a field may have been a "disorientated Londoner" from Walthamstow.

The body was found with a black suitcase containing an Oyster card and book on theology on the outskirts of Canterbury on February 3.

Detective Inspector Tracy Anstis said he may have been “visiting Canterbury and may have become disorientated."

Slimming food shop manager sacked for calling customer a 'fat ***t'

“I admit I called the guy a ***t. I admit I shouldn’t have done it.
I shouldn’t have been sacked by text - it is unprofessional.”

Red squirrels: 5,000 volunteers sought to save species – and help kill invasive greys

It's more the story itself, really:

An army of 5,000 volunteers is being sought to save the red squirrel from extinction by monitoring populations, educating children – and bludgeoning grey squirrels to death...

...volunteers can also undertake training to trap and kill grey squirrels, which are caught in a cage-trap, put in a bag and knocked over the head. “It’s not everyone’s cup of tea...”

...Pulling the trigger on grey squirrels was difficult if I’m honest because I’d never actually killed anything like that before,” said Bailey. “But because we’ve been culling the greys we’ve managed to get the reds back and they are still hanging on.” Despite three outbreaks of squirrelpox, Bailey now has six to eight red squirrels in her neighbourhood. “It is a winnable war but not without boots on the ground,” she added.

Bird caused Manchester Victoria station roof collapse

Slightly exaggerated headline - apparently a bird damaged one of the plastic panels and then the panel failed sending water and possibly bird shit down onto a platform. Not exactly the wholesale collapse of the station roof.

A story about firemen with small tools. I hope that's not a stock photo.

I think there is a weight limit of about 15 stone. The ex landlord of my old local was going to do one for charity until he found out he was too heavy.
