Bestest/Worstest Most Pathetic local news stories

For starters:
Couple return from holiday to find grass by their street cut to different lengths

A PAIR of bemused Carlton pensioners returned from holiday to find patches of grass on either side of their street cut at completely different lengths.

Bill, 65, and Sylvia Fenton, 67, of Shelford Road, Carlton, were baffled when they were told it was because one side of the road, at the junction with County Road, is managed by Notts County Council while the other is looked after by Gedling Borough Council.

How devastating for them. You would think such outrages would not be allowed to happen in this day and age. :roll:

Sounds like they had a great holiday, if that was concerning them when they came back. I bet you everyone at their resort fucking hated them.

THE craze of decorating an Aberdeen tree with shoes has been cut short over health and safety fears.

Scattered with everything from high heels to a child’s pair of wellingtons, the tree in the city’s Seaton Park was an unusual sight.

But due to health and safety issues, the colourful and quirky feature is no more as Aberdeen City Council decided to remove the loafers, sandals and boots from the branches.
