A man got the shock of his life when he opened a loaf of bread and found a whole mouse inside.


North Antrim Magistrates Court heard how a man purchased a Hyndman's malt loaf from a supermarket in the Ballymoney area before Christmas 2007.


When he unwrapped the loaf he discovered the small lifeless mammal embedded in the base of the bread.

I've been told that in Devon & Cornwall "real" cider (aka scrumpy) has a dead rat in the fermentation to ensure it works well.

I can imagine the last moments of that unfortunate mouse's life were akin to the chicken-pie-factory scene in Nick Park's Chicken Run. Except this poor creature didn't escape. And the bakery didn't blow up. You can guess I've a young daughter, can't you.

    • I'd try the Dulwich Village or "North Dulwich Triangle" forums for more local knowledge but I don't think those areas compare to Abeville Road at all. It will be quite a different lifestyle.
    • Yes, Dulwich Village commands a premium and justifiably so given access to the City via London Bridge plus the top rate schools within walking distance.  The bus services are really good also - 37, 42 and P4. The P4 is useful for connecting to the Victoria line at Brixton. It's worthwhile waiting for the right property. I know of one which will be coming on the market in a few weeks - 4 bedrooms and south facing garden circa £2.5m.
    • This is an utterly foolish and alarmist statement, completely at odds with reality.
    • I realise this is highly unlikely, but if anyone has a colour laser printer in very good working order, I'd be delighted to take it off your hands!
