A freak storm in Coventry on Monday evening brought traffic to a standstill as over 100 apples fell from the sky. Motorists were baffled as the fruit suddenly fell, pelting their cars. One woman, who was travelling with her husband, said ‘The apples fell out of nowhere. They were small and green and hit the bonnet hard. Everyone had to stop their cars suddenly.’ 

There are many theories about where the apples came from. One witness thought that they were being thrown by as a prank by children. The Met Office said it was possible they had been scooped up by a tornado and dumped when the energy dissipated, but Keresley parish councillor Sandra Camwell had another explanation. “Strange things do happen in this part of the world. We’re in an area with a spooky history, where there have been witches for centuries, after all.”

Dalby Forest in North Yorkshire has recruited some new workers to help out during the festive period. A pack of Newfoundland dogs will provide a delivery service with a difference by pulling Christmas trees to customers’ cars. The dogs are helping to raise money for charity through donations for each tree carried at the 3,400 hectare (8,600 acre) beauty spot in the North York Moors national park. Katie Thorn, the Forestry Commission’s recreation manager, said “Real trees use 10 times fewer materials to produce and five times less energy than artificial trees so it’s a good way of being kind to the planet. It’s a fantastic crowd-pleasing way to buy a tree and have the dogs tow it back to the car in a cart.” Be green this Christmas and get your real Christmas tree delivered by Newfoundland dogs.

Earlier this week hundreds Japanese ‘light trucks’ gathered to raise money for a Japanese children’s charity. The lorries are known as Dekotora or Decotora, an abbreviation for ‘decoration truck’. They feature so many light bulbs that extra generators have to be fitted under the lorry’s chassis to power them.The owners of these lorries spend months fitting each vehicle with about £100,000 of eye-catching bling. The decoration is not a random accumulation of lights however, as most lorries have a theme. Some trucks have protruding tusks made of lights, while others have large murals depicting monsters.  The only drawback to these magnificent beasts is that the lights can only be on for 20 minutes at a time before the generators overheat.

A large-scale clean-up operation was undertaken yesterday when tanker carrying more than 20 tonnes of yeast extract, believed to be Marmite, overturned on a busy motorway. Police shut a section of the M1 in South Yorkshire at around 10.15pm on Tuesday night following the incident, which saw the vehicle crash and and spill its contents onto the carriageway. The motorway remained closed until 9.30am the next morning, but the havoc continued with further delays to commuters of up to an hour.

Thousands took to Twitter to offer their Marmite related puns and surprisingly, the subject managed to attract more traffic than George Osborne’s Autumn Statement. One user, who goes by the name of pkfrancis, said: ‘Marmite lorry crashes. Some people will love this news, others will hate it ..’ Another said “We want to toast all those wanting to help mop up the spread of Marmite on the M1″ from @thisismarmite.
