Woman finds mouse in bag of chips

A London woman has received an apology and £50 in vouchers after she found a dead mouse in a bag of oven chips.

The woman, who bought the bag from her local Co-op store in Poplar, East London, thought that the offending item was a black chip before closer inspection revealed the grisly truth. The discovery comes soon after an Oxfordshire resident also found a dead mouse, this time in a loaf of bread bought from Tesco.

Stephen Forse was making sandwiches for his children when he noticed a dark object in the corner of some of the slices of bread. Thinking there was an innocent explanation for it, he looked closer to find that the object had fur on it. The production firm responsible was fined £17,000.

I found Winston Solicitors through, of all places, a post on Reddit from property flippers. They had great reviews on it and being a trusted person, did my due dilligence and checked Google too. I wasn't disappointed. I had been dealing with Amanda, Tom and Sidraa throughout my sale and purchase. I felt like I had the best team all the way through. Nothing got passed them and they were always prompt, helpful and friendly from start to finish. Sidraa certainly had her work cut out and she made me feel like they had my back and my interests at heart. Please don't be put off by using solicitors miles away. Most of this can be done online nowadays. It's all so easy to do. I don't want to move anytime soon but, if I have to, I will be using Winston Solicitors again and preferably the same team! Thank you all.
