Hyperactive Thames eels found to have ingested cocaine from the polluted capital's water supply:

"Concentrations of cocaine and benzoylecgonine remained high in wastewater across the week with only a minor increase over the weekend, which is not consistent with other cities," they added, which meant Londoners appear to be on it 24/7"

So, tell me, how come London is able to afford this blizzard of cocaine with brexit looming? Are you all out there snorting Columbia round the clock? What is cocaine going for in the streets of the Old Smoke anyhow? Tuppence? Feel free to PM me if you don't wish to mention prices publically. My interest is purely out of curiosity, and because I am interested in the economics of prohibitions.

A poor judge of caricature?
One crime victim in Norfolk criticised a police e-fit (below right), saying although a thief had an unusual appearance he "didn't look that odd".
Image caption'He was odd-looking, but not that odd' said a theft victim, who described the man on the right to Norfolk police.

Primark customer finds 'human bone' in sock

Bizarre.
I wonder if it was put there in a customer return.
A friend of mine once worked in a Blockbuster store. One day she found a very small crucible wedged inside a VHS tape, presumably by a customer. Yes, by "crucible" here I mean a ceramic container for heating objects to high temperature. No explanation was ever found as to who put it there or why they did so. (Might have been the kind of thing a child would do, perhaps).
