Couple order corn on the cob in the Midlands - and get a bread roll filled with sweetcorn
Image by: Paige Hart
A couple who ordered a corn on the cob from their local takeaway were baffled to be served - a bread roll filled with sweetcorn.
Paige Hart, 24, and boyfriend William Maddock, 32, popped into a local takeaway in the Midlands, where a bread roll is known commonly known as a 'cob'.
They placed a £14 order - including a £3.50 dish of corn on the cob - before returning home to their flat in Carlton, Nottingham.
But when Page got home she discovered she'd been given sweetcorn on a bread roll.
Paige said: “Me and William wanted something to eat before we got home and couldn’t be bothered to cook.
“It’s a bit like Nando’s so we ordered our chicken.
“I turned to William and said I fancied I corn on the cob so I asked the guy behind the counter if he did it.
“At first he looked at me a bit weird and said ‘of course darling’ and bagged it up.
“We were just gobsmacked.
“We were both in stitches as he took it so literally.
“What some people call baps we call cobs so he took it literally."
Last year a YouGov study revealed how more than 50 per cent of people in Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire use the word 'cob' for a bread roll.
“The thing is it didn’t even have butter on," said Paige. “And I still was really craving a corn on the cob.
“It’s not nice without butter. We didn’t eat it in the end. We took a few pics and put it in the bin.”

WATCH: Teen who lost both hands as a child completes entire makeup routine - using a BIONIC ARM
Video by: Sarah Lockey
This incredible video shows a teen who lost both hands to meningitis as a baby completing her makeup routine - using a BIONIC ARM.
Tilly Lockey, 13, can put on her eyeliner, use makeup brushes and blenders effortlessly without any assistance.
The inspirational girl has devoted her time over the years to raising awareness of the complications that can follow meningitis.
She needed 10 blood transfusions and lost both of her hands after contracting meningococcal septicaemia at just 15 months old.
Tilly was given a 0% chance survival by doctors but defied all of the odds to survive the deadly disease.
She has previously been given bionic arms with basic functions and also trialled several others.
But at Christmas 2018, Tilly was given her first set of comic book inspired 'hero arms' by Bristol-based technology company Openbionics.
The high-tech limbs can function as normal hands and were tailor-made for Tilly on a 3D printer.
The bionic arms are the first medically approved prosthesis of their kind in Britain and allow for precise and delicate movements that other prosthetic hands cannot do.
Tilly uses the arm to paint, play games and to give a 'thumbs-up' to her friends but she has also started to use them to put on her own makeup.
She has followed makeup blogs and now posts tutorials and videos online.
Her mum Sarah Lockey, 39, who works for the charity Meningitis Now which supported her daughter, said: "She finds the arm so useful.
"Tilly posted a video doing her makeup on her Twitter last year and everybody seemed to love it.
"She mainly started to put makeup on when she became a teenager so the arm has been such a huge help."
Tilly lost both of her hands and the tips of her toes when she contracted meningococcal septicaemia.
Aged just three-years-old, Tilly got a pair of 'myolectric arms' which only had basic functions of control.
For years after the surgery, Sarah desperately tried ways to get her the best prosthetics, fundraising and researching.
However, in 2016, Tilly was the first child in the world to be given trial 'bionic arms' by Bristol-based technology company Openbionics.

The new 'hero arms' - given to Tilly in 2018 - use sensors within the casing to respond to movements by Tilly and are designed to have all of the same functions as a usual pair of arms.
It means Tilly can now interact with her friends and family - including her father Adam Lockey, 38, and sisters Tia, 15, Lucyanna, 11, and Hermione, seven - in the same way as any other teenager.
Her mum Sarah, from Consett, County Durham said: "She can do everything with the arms.
"When she was diagnosed with meningitis as a 15-month-old I was told she had no chance of survival.
"To see how far she has come is incredible, I am so proud of her.
"She can use the arm just like anyone would use their hands.
"She now realises how much she can actually do with her 'hero arm' and she uses it for everything in everyday life.
"Tilly has become a triallist for the company now so she gets sent different designs and is used to test them for other children.
"She has tested around eight different designs since 2016 and they can then be altered and developed to be better for people in the same position."
Tilly has had incredible experiences throughout her life including meeting the Dalai Lama.
She has also appeared on hit ITV show 'This time next year..' where she showed the amazing difference being given her bionic arms had on her life.
Last week, Tilly even headed to London to model her hero arm at the premiere of Alita: Battle Angel in the West End - complete with a custom arm to become the character.
Sarah added: "She has achieved so much already in her life.
"We just want to keep raising the awareness of everything she went through and how much these arms can help children.
"I am so proud."

The 'hero arms' cost approximately £10,000 per arm to purchase, although Tilly has been given multiple different sets to trial due to her role as an ambassador for the company.
Tilly said she loves the simple things about the arms - including being able to hold two items at once.
She said: "I really love how I can now hold two things at once.
"It sounds really simple and it is probably what a lot of people take for granted but to me, to be able to hold a book in one hand and a pen in another while I’m studying is great.
"I also love how cool they look, they’re lots of fun and I’m proud to wear them.”

WATCH: Floyd Mayweather Sr. sparred in his eponymous boxing club - and got FLOORED
Image by: Photo Contributor44
This is the moment Floyd Mayweather Sr. sparred in his eponymous boxing club - and got floored.
Mayweather, 66, got into an impromptu sparring match with former boxer and boxing coach Ross Thompson, 45, at Mayweather Boxing Club, in Las Vegas.
But Floyd Mayweather Jr's dad did not emerge victorious on Monday Feb 4, 2019 and - ended up on the deck.
“They were having a bit of a trash talk outside of the ring,” said an onlooker, who filmed the video but did not wish to be named.
“Ross told Floyd Senior that his brother Roger Mayweather was a better trainer than him, so Floyd Senior got mad at that and so he threw a few shots about Ross’s career,” claimed the onlooker.
“Then Floyd told Ross that he wouldn’t be able to touch him, because he’s too big… like 'you won’t be able to touch me, I hope I don’t hurt you’ then they got in the ring and went for it,” he said.
“It was really macho, it was great.
“They dodged each other in the ring for a bit, next thing you know Ross put a combination together and Floyd goes down, that’s a sequence of punches, almost like when you’re dancing and you have a sequence of steps, they were pretty fast and it got Floyd Senior laid out on the ground.
“He wasn’t quite unconscious, he was just went down hard, I’d say he was lying dazed on the floor for about 30 seconds after he hit the ground.
“Then he got up, we were all laughing and talking cra*p…they wound up shaking hands in the end.”
Ross Thompson, who threw the winning punch said: “We were getting into it at the club, we have a history, he likes to trash talk at me.
"He likes to trash talk, he's just like his son."

Farm becomes the first place in Britain to offer yoga classes - in a field full of ALPACAS
Image by: Matthew Newby SWNS
A farm has become the first place in Britain to offer yoga classes - in a field full of ALPACAS.
Rosebud Alpacas is located on a remote smallholding among rolling countryside and has been hailed as the perfect location for calming exercise.
But to add to the experience owners Nick and Lucy Aylett have decided to run their yoga classes in the same field where they keep their alpacas.
And they say their alpaca yoga classes in South Molton, Devon, are a "unique experience" which are "great for mind, body and soul".
Nick said: "They live outside and the chickens are protected by the alpaca herd who are quick to alert all around to any unwelcome visitors.
“We want our land to be an inviting place for others to come and enjoy.
"It is our home and is a very special place that we would really love other people to enjoy too.
"It's a place where people can come to escape, take time out from technology and busy lives, a chance to spend time connecting with the land, the animals and each other.
"Our dream is for this place also to be a sanctuary for people to come and feel at home as well.”
The pair say all their animals are "raised ethically with freedom of choice, their welfare being paramount".
Each session is led by qualified instructor Sian Bartlett and light refreshments are provided after each class.
In addition to the alpaca yoga, they also offer alpaca walking, alpaca picnics, alpaca art sessions and a special "alpaca connection" package.
The alpaca connection session is where guests are guided in meditations and have the opportunity to "walk amongst the herd in mindful observation".

Lucy Aylett, 46, runs the alpaca yoga with her partner, Nick Stringer, 55, a former landscape gardener.
Lucy, who used to run a pet supply store, said: "We wanted to move to Devon and change careers, so we bought the alpacas and got some land.
"The alpacas have a very calming presence very much like horses. Being around them we felt very stress-free.
"We started working with them because we breed them and we found that time just flew when you were around them and we wanted to share that with people.
"People go away feeling calm, it's just an experience being around the alpacas.
"They're not lively animals, they're not jumping all over you like goat yoga. That tried to be a thing, but people got fed up with the goats jumping on them all the time.
"You don't get that with alpacas.
"They're very relaxed so it just adds to the feeling of relaxation.
"In our location, there isn't much going on, if you're meditating you don't ear all the traffic, it's all very peaceful and the alpacas add to that.
"We started doing the yoga classes last spring, it just came to me one day. It's difficult to describe.
"I tried some yoga myself, it seemed very peaceful.
"I don't like to force the animals into it, I want to do it in the field so the animals can join the people if they want to but they don't have to.
"It feels more authentic that way."

STREET AND TWO VEG

Meet the woman who has gained almost 50,000 social media followers by creating penis-shaped routes whilst out - JOGGING.
Claire Pisano, also known as 'Dick_Run_Claire' on Instagram, has daily runs almost exclusively shaped like a penis.
The 33-year-old mum has become an Instagram sensation by mapping out penises with her running app and sharing them online.
Claire, from New Jersey, USA, took up running as a hobby aged 28 and mapped out her first 'dick run' by accident in November 2015.
It happened when she went out for a jog whilst visiting a relative in Kansas, in November 2015, and went took a wrong turn.
Image by: Claire Pisano
She posted her creation online and the Instagram page Dick_Run_Claire was born.
Now Claire has 48,000 followers on Instagram through sharing her penis runs of all shapes and sizes - and has kick started a rude running trend.
Searching for #dickrun on Instagram reveals how thousands of people are getting in on the act to map out a willy on their workout.
Claire, a corporate sector worker, said: " I encourage anyone and everyone to try a dickrun or two.
"Someone once sent me their map of a dickswim, that was pretty impressive actually. I can’t swim in a straight line, let alone draw something.
"The first dick run was a total accident at first. My brother had moved and I was visiting him. I went for a run and took a wrong turn.
"When I got back, I realised what I had accidentally drawn. From what I hear, most dickrunners start out this way. Obviously my friends thought it was funny so I kept it up."

Claire has taken part in two marathons, a dozen half marathons since taking up running and is already training for her third marathon in autumn this year.
If training for a marathon isn't hard enough, Claire's running routine includes the added challenge of trying to map out a penis.
It has seen her draw penises small and large on the streets across America.
Three-and-a-half years after #dickrun was born, Claire says it can be tricky to make each drawing different from the one before.
She said: "I got into running because it was 'me time.- although I always love running with friends.There’s nothing like a run to clear your mind and help you reset.
"The dickruns are funny but there are some super talented people doing #stravaart - really impressive and detailed drawings.
"It depends on the setting. I like the challenge in more rural areas, because you don’t have a lot of roads to work with, so I love finding a random 'road dick'.
"Sometimes they’re super obvious, and I am pretty sure there’s a league of town planners and transportation engineers who are all in on some inside joke making road dicks in their towns."
Whilst some dickruns come naturally, Claire says he spends hours online mapping out new runs.
Claire said:: "I do spend an inordinate amount of time mapping out dickruns.
"I travel for work and for fun, so I map them out anywhere I travel, I have so many mapped that I haven’t run yet."

PRISONER OF AZKABAN
Image by: Matthew Newby SWNS
A couple have been found guilty of keeping a housemate as a slave - forcing him to live in a cupboard under the stairs "like Harry Potter".
Gabriel Nicolae was made to carry out forced labour and his captors controlled his finances and stopped him from eating or drinking in the house.
He was made to eat highly spiced food and ordered to dance and carry out physical challenges.
Mr Nicolae worked full time at an abattoir earning £300 to £350 a week - but he was given just enough money to buy his bus tickets and around £1 a day for biscuits.
Gabriel was even made to drink out of an outside hosepipe and use woodland when he needed the toilet and had eggs and flour thrown at him.
The victim had been using the cupboard under the stairs as a bedroom like "the boy wizard Harry Potter", a court was told.
Neighbours called police after seeing Gabriel washing in the garden in a basin fashioned from a pile of rocks.

Ion Boboc, 26 and Christiana Tudor-Dobre, 24, were convicted of requiring a person to perform forced or compulsory labour and fraud.
Mihai-Aurel Dan, who was also standing trial, was cleared of both charges. All three are from the St Anne's Park area of Bristol.
Prosecutor Charles Thomas said police visited the trio's address on July 27 2018, after a concerned neighbour called the Modern Slavery Hotline.
Mr Thomas said: “Police were surprised when Gabriel Nicolae emerged from the cupboard under the stairs. He looked dishevelled.”
Important documents such as his ID card, bank card, financial papers, and multiple phone contracts were in a bedroom used by Boboc and Tudor-Dobre.
The jury also heard that the victim was filmed carrying out tasks set by the defendants.
Mr Nicolae eventually revealed that he would have to wash his clothes in the town centre and was not allowed to eat or wash inside the house, with no use of the kitchen.
Ben Samples of the CPS said: “I would like to commend the victim for the incredible strength and bravery he showed in giving evidence and supporting the prosecution, despite the degrading treatment he suffered at the hands of the defendants.
“I would also like to thank the members of the public who contacted the police with their concerns. Modern slavery often takes place out of sight, and it is only with the support of such witnesses that we will defeat it in the UK.
“Finally, I would like to give credit to Avon and Somerset Police, who acted swiftly following the report and built a strong case against the defendants, working in partnership with the CPS South West Complex Case Unit.”
Officer in the case PC Roger Ibrahim said: “Without the information through the Modern Slavery Hotline this abuse would still be happening.
''When we found this man he appeared underfed and was suffering from sores on his feet. No one should be treated in this way.''
The duo will be sentenced for their crimes on March 19.

CHUBBY CHIHUAHUA
Image by: Patty Stanton
An obese Chihuahua who could barely move has shed more than half her body weight after ditching her indulgent diet.
Bertha tipped the scales at 13lbs when she was handed in to Muttville Senior Dog Rescue in San Francisco after her owner passed away.
The 11-year-old pooch was more than three times the recommended weight for a Chihuahua and could barely carry the massive weight on her tiny legs.
She was adopted by Allison Hackett, 35, in August 2017, who knew she could help the dog slim down and lead a happier life with a calorie-controlled diet.
Image by: Patty Stanton
Bertha committed to her diet of low-calorie, low-carb dog food and trained her palette to enjoy new offerings like carrot and apple.
Since embarking on her weight loss journey, the Chihuahua has shed 8lbs - more than half her body weight.
Allison, a mergers and acquisitions associate, said: "She was unable to move well and she was definitely hindered by her weight.
"She looked like a sausage.
"My friend said she looked like a loaf of bread on tiny legs.
"She is a Chihuahua so she should weigh about 5lbs, but when she was handed into the shelter she was about 13lbs.
"That’s almost triple what she should have been.
Image by: Allison Hackett

"She didn’t have a history so there was no evidence of what her diet had been like before but it was clear that it was bad.
"She lost about a pound during her time in Muttville so when I got her she was 12lbs.
"My vet advised me to start her on a low calorie and low carb dog food.
"We wanted her to lose weight slowly and healthily.
"She would have a quarter of a cup of this food a day in total.
"She reached 5lbs about a year into her diet and her vet is super happy with her at the moment."
Senior dog Bertha experiences regular seizures and can’t go too hard when it comes to exercise.

However, the pint-sized pooch loves to run around her house and can even climb the stairs, which she wasn’t able to do when she was obese.
Allison, of Saint Helena, California, said: "She is a much happier dog and is leading such a happy life now.
"We’re really strict about her diet. She’s not allowed any people food or high-calorie treats.
"Now she can go up and down the stairs, she can stand on her hind legs, she can run around.
"She has so much energy now and it’s so nice to hear the click of her toenails running around the house constantly especially when she could hardly move before."
While the pooch is on the straight and narrow, Bertha still loves her dinners and Allison said food is never far from her mind.
Allison said: "She definitely loves her food. She is always looking for it, she is constantly on the lookout.
"I can tell she's always thinking about it, but she is happy and healthy now and everyone is pleased with her progress."

LIVING NIGHTMARE
Image by: Patricia Rodrigues
A restaurant owner puzzled by her sky-high electricity bills says she was horrified to discover she had also been paying the bills for a nearby bowling alley and hotel.
Patricia Rodrigues, 29, couldn't understand why she was paying around £1,300 a month for her pizza restaurant until she had an electrician come round to check it out.
The pizzeria boss claims she was stunned to find she had also been paying for an adjacent hotel and bowling alley - adding nearly £42,000 extra to her bills over the seven years.
The Mondragone Ristorante e pizzeria in Brandon, Suffolk is part of a complex that includes the Brandon Lodge Apartment Hotel and Mr G's Bowling centre which are both owned by landlord Nolan Guthrie.
Image by: Patricia Rodrigues
When Patricia queried her bills with Mr Guthrie, he stated in a letter that it had been agreed she would pay all the power bills as part of the terms of renting out the restaurant.
But Patricia, who has been running the business since 2011 with her brother Fabio, claims she has never formally signed any terms or conditions or even lease.
She claims Mr Guthrie had delayed agreeing a formal lease when she first rented the property and only confirmed the rental amount.
Image by: Patricia Rodrigues
The single mother-of-two said: "When I opened the restaurant, it didn’t enter my mind that we would be paying for someone else’s electric.
"Then we started seeing that our bills were getting really high.
"I have been asking for a contract and a lease to be set up since I have moved in and I think this is why he never done so".
Patricia says her electricity bills started off at £150 and then gradually increased.
She added: "My electricity bill went up gradually - it went to £250 then £300 and so on.
"I was thinking maybe it is just getting busier at the restaurant which means we would be using more electricity - but then it went to £600, £700, £1,000 and kept going".
Image by: Patricia Rodrigues
Image by: Patricia Rodrigues
After having an electricity meter built into her restaurant, Patricia discovered that she should be paying between £400 and £500 a month.
An average household pays around £1138 a year in electricity bills and uses an average of 3,100 kWh a year.
But Patricia, who pays £833 a month on rent, was paying around this in one month and claims she would be using around 100 kWh on a "busy" day.
She added: "When the electrician switched the meter board off, the lights in the whole building went out.
"The landlord came running into the restaurant and tried to throw the electrician out - there was a big argument between them - and he said what they were doing was illegal".
A letter from Weeting-based Forest Electrical, states: "Following my visit to your premises today, I can confirm that the three phase electricity supply contact through a standard meter is also supplying electricity to two further circuits in separate premises to your own.
"In short, you are paying for the electricity to two different dwellings/businesses other than your own."
Patricia claims he has not paid her back the money she is owed and has since stopped paying the electricity bills for the last three months.
She adds: "It has been really hard for me.
"I held on for so long, because if they threw me out I would have nothing.
"I have had the police in here because I was worried about him.
"I just wanted to run away and disappear - it has been so expensive for me."
The Mr Guthrie has denied comment.

Patricia says she is now moving her restaurant after being unable to settle the dispute.
Patricia later said she believed the two extra electricity circuits were connected to hotels rooms on the ground floor next to her restaurant, and rooms on the first floor above - but NOT the nearby bowling alley.
She said she thought there were eight to ten rooms in total.
Speaking today (wed), Nolan Guthrie advised OFF THE RECORD that Patricia Rodrigues had been aware of the extra electricity circuits.
He said this had been an informal arrangement as the rent for her business premises was low.
He denies her claim that she was unaware of this.
Seven-year-old wows crowd with rendition of ‘This Is Me’ - in sign language
Video by: Michael Deegan
This adorable seven-year-old girl has become an internet sensation after wowing a crowd with a rendition of the song ‘This Is Me’ - in sign language.
Jessica Deegan’s dad Michael posted a video of her performing the song on Twitter, which has attracted over 240,000 views.
The youngster performed the song from the film The Greatest Showman at a talent show last Saturday and won a prize in her category.
Jessica, who is not deaf and has been learning sign at school, entered the open category of Next Step's Got Talent competition in her home of Livingston, West Lothian.
Proud dad Michael Deegan, 28, posted the clip of his daughter on Twitter and received more than 1,700 retweets and 14,000 likes.
Michael said: "It was a local dance group she goes to and they put on a talent show for the kids.
“Jessica chose to go into the open category to do sign language - she had learned it in school and really enjoys it.
“She cares for everyone and wanted to involve something that includes other people and lets others enjoy something different."
On the day, dad of two Michael attended the show with his parents Rose, 55, and Phil, 68, and Jessica's little brother Kobin, aged four.
Michael claimed Jessica was "really confident" and couldn't wait to perform her act which she had been practicising for weeks ahead of the event.
He said: “She had been practising for a couple of weeks before she had to put her entry in.
"She was really confident with no nerves and looked forward to it.
“Her family that went along knew what was happening but apart from that no one else knew.
“Not many people knew what was going on."

The amazing performance received a standing ovation and even moved a judge to tears.
Dad Michael said: “Everyone was getting drawn into it and emotionally attached to it - the place went silent.
“She only had a minute and a half then everybody jumped up in a roar.
“One of the judges said it brought tears to their eyes while watching it.
"She’s had a lot of support and messages since."
Michael, a customer resolution analyst, hopes his daughter will continue to learn sign language, which he believes could benefit her further down the line.
He said: “I’m hoping she does keep it up, she’s enjoying it and I’m hoping the school continue to offer it.
"But if they don't then I will speak to her and if she wants to continue it I will try and find her a tutor.
“I know myself it would be something very useful for her going into a working environment."
Michael said the response from family, friends and online has been "overwhelming".
He said: “Everybody’s over the moon with her and I still can't find the words with how proud I am with her.
“Everybody said it was so good.
“It’s overwhelming for us, never mind Jessica."
He added: "She likes to play with everybody and include others in the group - it shows everyone how much of a caring child she is.”

BAD HAIR DAY
Image by: Sophia Soares
A baffled schoolboy has been punished by his school for cutting his hair too short - just a day after being told off because it was TOO LONG.
Jonathon Soares, 16, was told by staff last Monday that his haircut - which featured shorts side and a long floppy fringe and he had sported for months - was too long.
The 16-year-old student duly got a £10 trim that night at his local hairdresser and had the sides 'shaved faded' and the top and fringe cut shorter.
However the following day he was stunned when a teacher at Great Yarmouth Charter Academy, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, told him off for his 'Meet Me at McDonalds' haircut.
The teenager, from Great Yarmouth, was punished for his new do and was put in isolation for the rest of the week - where he was forced to work alone.

Jonathan's mum was outraged by the school's decision to isolate her son and is worried this will now effect his GCSEs - which he is set to take at the end of the year.
The youngster's hair is naturally curly and brown.
The youngster's mum, Sophia Soares, 35, said: "It's ridiculous.
"It seems to me like they are making an example out of Jonathan.
"I understand that they need to have the correct uniform and look smart but there are no patterns in it and it's not an outrageous colour - it's just a short back and sides.
"In my eyes how he chooses to have his hair cut is up to him."
Image by: Sophia Soares
The GY Charter Academy pupil now fears he may not get his place at East Norfolk Sixth Form College next year if he gets excluded in his final months at the school.
Sophia added: "You should not isolate a child for their haircut.
"A haircut does not stop you from learning.
"He is not the only child in that school with that haircut either - it's discrimination.
"He's not learning anything in isolation now so he might as well be at home."
A spokesman for the Inspiration Trust, who run a range of schools across Norfolk and Suffolk said pupils and parents are aware of the school's guidelines.
The Trust said: "Great Yarmouth Charter Academy’s guidelines on uniform and appearance have been well publicised, and families and pupils are well aware of the school’s requirements around haircuts.
"These are not difficult to follow, and if pupils choose to go against them they do so knowing the sanctions they are likely to face."
