It seems that villagers in the sleepy village of Ushaw Moor in County Durham are being kept awake at night...by the noise of mating peacocks!

The Independent says the birds have also been getting on the wrong side of residents by attacking cars and fouling the streets as they roam wild.

 OH dear, we Brits are getting so uptight about our lousy weather that an 'emergency summit' is to be held, says the Daily Express.

Experts will attempt to work out why Britain has been subjected to such volatile weather in recent years with the Met Office hosting a “workshop” of scientists and meteorologists.
