Man shocked at finding chicken head inside frozen food bag
Peter Stanton bought a bag of Asda frozen ribs and chicken wings for his daughter’s birthday barbecue and found a chicken’s head inside. Salesman Peter, 39, was about to grill the defrosted wings at the bash for nine-year-old Georgia when he glimpsed a beak.
He took the head back to his local Asda in Rawtenstall. Store chiefs gave him £50 of beer and wine to compensate and promised to investigate.

Runway tractor carrying potatoes mashes car
A farmer in Germany has learned a harsh lesson about the dangers of smoking. While he ducked into a convenience store to buy cigarettes, his parked tractor and its load of 25 tons of potatoes went rolling down a hill - and into a parked car, no one was hurt.
Police say the emergency brake came loose while the farmer was in the store, and the tractor and its two trailers barreled 30 yards downhill before hitting the parked car and crushing it against a wall.
Police in the western German village of Viersen said that the car was a "total loss." The tractor and trailers, however, emerged unscathed.
