STARTING all over again is 32 year old Sarah Thomson from Exeter who has woken up from a coma convinced she was a teenager and without any recollection of her husband or three children.
The Daily Express reports that Sarah suffered a burst blood clot in her head 13 years ago but when she finally regained consciousness she thought she was 19 again.
Which meant husband Chris and children Michael, 14, Daniel, five, and four-year-old Amy were complete strangers to her!
Sarah told the newspaper: “When the children came to see me I had no idea who they were, I thought they were somebody else's. I kept calling them the wrong names and had no idea why they were so pleased to see me.”
Another woman with a complicated relationship is 29 year old Kerry De'ath who has finally tied the knot after jilting three different men - by marrying her bridesmaid.
The Sun story says that six weeks before her proposed wedding to Nick Farmer, Kerry called it off because she realised she loved chief bridesmaid Sarah Woodford.
Now they have wed at the venue where she planned to marry Nick.
Kerry, from Southend, said: “I settled down with men but every time they started talking about marriage I panicked. When I was making arrangements to marry Nick, Sarah sat me down on her bed and said, ‘I love you.’”
Police in the Cornish town of Newquay have come up with a novel way of reducing anti-social behaviour and recorded crime, says The Guardian.
They have banned mankinis, fake penises and other 'inappropriate clothing' from the resort and officers claim the town is shedding its reputation as a haven for drunken revellers and stag parties as a result of the zero-tolerance approach to risque fancy dress.
The Guardian says visitors including children as young as 15 have been sent home as a result of anti-social behaviour, while older fun-seekers have had skimpy costumes seized by police – including mankinis, a thong-like male bathing costume popularised by comedian Sacha Baron Cohen's spoof documentary character Borat.
Police superintendent Julie Whitmarsh said: “Mankini is what we term 'offensive clothing', so we won't accept people wearing them. They are just hideous. Is it just me, but if you were living in Bath for example, or Bournemouth, is that something you would wear to walk into town on a Saturday afternoon? No.
“They are just revolting, there is nothing pleasant about seeing anybody in a mankini. We have had a real crackdown on the fake penises. And people are getting that message.”
That's not very Christian....
A football match between two Church sides had to be called off after players got involved in a brawl.
According to The Sun, The West Midlands Christian League was set up to promote “peace and understanding”.
But the game between Zion Athletic and Common Ground United saw participants scrapping with each after a player who had been sent off earlier ran back on the pitch.
Five are now facing year-long bans for 'violent conduct' and another is to be disciplined for 'improper” behaviour.'
Fifty-three year old personal trainer Cathy Price, from Preston, has an unusual hobby – she has spent nearly a year-and-a-half trekking thousands of miles across Britain to visit 223 pubs - all called the Red Lion, says the Daily Mail.
Her ambition is to visit all 724 Red Lions and she's already clocked up 7,000 miles.
Cathy's adventure began after she popped into the Red Lion pub in Hawkeshead in the Lake District in 2011
“It was a lovely little pub and having read the sign, I imagined hundreds of them dotted all over the country. I came up with this mad idea of visiting them and then I discovered an app called CaskFinder which I realised could easily help me track down scores of Red Lions,” she said.
The treatment handed to McDonald's waitress Sarah Finch has been highlighted by The Sun.
She has been sacked for sprinkling too much chocolate on a 99p McFlurry.
Sarah got her marching orders for for gross misconduct after serving up the ice cream dessert to a colleague.
Now she’s taking the bosses of the restaurant in Carmarthen, West Wales, to an employment tribunal to fight the ruling.
Sarah said: “The matter was trivial, in that I provided a fellow employee, who was purchasing a dessert, a generous sprinkling of chocolate pieces. There is no standard for such measures - they are always imprecise and will vary among customers.”
Apparently Prince Harry has topped a poll asking university students to choose their ideal university housemate.
The Daily Telegraph reports that he gained 39 per cent of the vote in the poll which was carried out amongst 2,000 first year students.
Simon Green, marketing director for drinks company VK who carried out the poll, said: “It’s no surprise that Harry has become a bit of a hero for the nation’s students as he certainly knows how to have a good time.”
The must-have accessory at the Liberal Democrat conference in Brighton, according to the Mail, was an “I'm A PLEB” badge.
This follows the headline story that Government minister Andrew Mitchell allegedly used the word during a rant at Downing Street police.
