Odds restaurant
set to open in London
The latest craze from America is set to hit London
this month as the "Odds" restaurant chain opens it's first branch
in the UK. The restaurant only takes bookings for an odd number of people
- 1,3,5,7,9 etc. "It's worked really well in the States", said
a spokesperson for "Odds", "It's great fun when someone
rings up and asks for a table for four and we say - no." Last year
"Evens" restaurant opened in Manchester but closed after just
two weeks by Trading Standards when it was discovered that a party of
11 had been allowed a table while a party of 4 and a party of 6 were made
to wait outside in the rain.
Man-eating car
stolen
Police in
the Midlands have made an urgent appeal for the person who stole a Citroen
2CV in Birmingham to abandon it immediately and call the 'authorities'.
It is thought that the car is responsible for eating six people at a car
park in the city last weekend. A spokesperson for West Midlands Police
said, "We'd been keeping a close eye on the car as we suspected that
it eating people. But when we looked away for just two minutes someone
stole it. Their life may be in danger." If anyone sees the car the
police spokesperson says,"God help them".
Obituary

else has died. They were 75 and they'd had a good innings. The body will
be stripped to the bone and dragged through Chesterfield before being
broken into little pieces and used as cat litter. A close relative said,
"It's what they would have wanted".
