Butcher surprised by dildo sausages (UK). Staff at a German butcher's shop were surprised to discover a customer had hidden two sex toys in their sausages, police said on Wednesday, intended for transport to Dubai.

'It was two latex dildos with a natural look,' said a spokesman for police, who possibly has a rewarding career in the dildo-describing industry ahead of him.

'He could have used a loaf of bread,' the police spokesman said. 'It's not against the law here.'

Exactly why the police would have preferred him to use a loaf of bread, rather than sausages, to transport his dildos remains unclear at the time of writing.

Hellish neighbours kicked out of home (UK). A family who featured on a prime time television programme about neighbours from hell have been evicted from their home in New Addington.

The family appeared on an ITV programme in the 1990s. At the time they were warned with eviction if they did not clear their garden of rubbish and cars.

Although they initially removed the vehicles they returned to their antisocial ways and the council was not prepared to give them a second chance.

Housing officers found the house wrecked with broken windows and the family has since been billed for the damage and cleaning costs.
