A SCHOOL in the UK has banned
students from wearing “onesie”
pyjamas, after a craze saw them
wearing the giant jumpsuits to
class due to freezing
temperatures.
The principal of Chailey School
in East Sussex said teachers were
surprised at the new trend which
came after the children were told
they could wear warmer clothes
to deal with the cold weather.
He wrote to parents saying “it is
not appropriate or acceptable - as
has occurred in a few cases - for
students to wear onesies,” with
other clothing such as jumpers,
jackets, hats and gloves preferred.
A BROKEN bottle of cough syrup
led to suspicions of murder, after
British police were alerted to a
vehicle which “appeared to have
blood pouring from the boot”.
A concerned witness tailed the
car driven by 60-year-old Pat
Major after she was spotted
stuffing something into the rear
of her vehicle which then dripped
red liquid onto the roadway.
When officers caught up with
the woman they discovered that
the mysterious ooze was
blackcurrant cough mixture - and
the “blood-soaked body” was
actually squashed shopping bags.
THIS may give some people an
excuse to avoid eating their
vegetables.
Leafy greens such as spinach
and lettuce accounted for the
most food-borne illnesses across
the US between 1998 and 2008,
according to a new report from
the Centers for Disease Control.
The study looked at almost
5000 illness outbreaks which
caused 130,000 hospitalisations
and deaths over the decade.
23% of illnesses were blamed
on salads, while 14% related to
dairy products, and poultry was
the third most common source of
illness or hospitalisation.
The CDC stressed the report
was not meant to discourage
people from eating healthy foods.
