So a snake turned up in Waitrose Cheltenham. And a mad lady went to collect it, and it bit her in front of other customers, but she's not bothered as she's mice at home to feed it.

Woman ignores cooking instructions on Tesco Edamame beans, complains about becoming ill as a result and gets an "insulting" £10 voucher. Goes on to complain that Tesco should add a warning to the packaging to clarify that they're unsafe to eat raw - won't somebody think of the children?! - even though they are sold ready to eat.

The most baffling thing about this is the decision to publish it.

Or, indeed, may not be food poisoning at all! There's a lot of norovirus out there at this time of year, and (without knowing any details of this specific case) is a far more common cause of gastrointestinal illness than foodborne pathogens.

Family OUTRAGED at missing Christmas jumper order at Nuneaton Asda

The baffling part is how the Coventry Telegraph managed to get 800 WORDS out of nothing...
