MAN LIVES IN 6 INCH HIGH HOUSE AFTER BUILDING ERROR
A man has been forced to live in a 6 inch high house after an amazing error by the builders he hired to construct his dream home.

The man, Mr Herman Chivers has been told by the head of Firestone Construction that an inexperienced junior incorrectly read the blue prints to the house.

"Thinking that metres were centimetres he enthusiastically proceeded to build the house, and surprised himself when he had the entire thing built in 3 and half hours", says the site architect, Tony Collins. “He thought that the whole building game was a doodle." he chuckles.

However when Mr Chivers came to view his dream home he was shocked to find it was no bigger than a dog kennel.

"I shoved the wife in there and she seemed happy enough with it, despite her tears." says Mr Chivers. "However I have complained strongly to Firestone about my wrongly sized house and I expect them to do something about it.", he adds.

We would like to apologise to Mr Chivers, said the Chief of Firestone properties last night.“I've docked the junior a weeks pay and the other builders have entombed him in the foundations of a new block of full sized flats for being such a burk.

OLD WOMAN ACCIDENTLY POSTED
An old woman in America has been accidentally posted to her sisters.

The old lady was putting the stamp on a letter to her sister when it got stuck to her tongue and before she knew it an overzealous mail man had posted her.

"Although at first I was rather taken aback at been posted to my sisters, it actually saved me a lot of money on bus fares as I was planning to see her next week anyway", said the old woman.

The mail company promised to launch an inquiry and punch the employee involved. "He's new and a bit overkeen", said a spokesman.

However rival mail company's rubbish the idea that that it was an accident claiming that the mailman in question has actually stuffed 153 old women into post box's in the last year alone.

"On one occasion he was heard to say by passer byes get in there you old tart, you love it really"
