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.

As executors of my Mum’s estate we needed to apply for Probate. We met with Monika Volsing to discuss Probate and she talked us through the process and was very friendly and helpful. Any questions we had were always answered promptly. The whole process was very quick and we cannot fault anything.

I have found Winston’s excellent in dealing with our conveyance. This firm totally deserve 5 stars and industry awards received. They are professional, friendly and respond to all docs in an extremely straightforward way. Their pricing is also extremely reasonable. I would have no hesitation in recommending this firm and would use them again should the need arise. I would like to give a special mention to The legal representative Michelle Ayres, who dealt with the sale of mum’s house in an extremely efficient and safe manner.

Winston Solicitors helped me with the purchase of my first ever property. I worked directly with Leasa Foster and Julie Smith. From start to finish they were very efficient and offered detailed information for each step of the way. As a first-time buyer, I wasn’t familiar with the process or what to expect, so having everything explained clearly and receiving detailed guidance at every stage was very helpful. Whenever I had a question or needed to discuss something, there was always someone available to assist, even when Leasa was not there. I always felt well supported and guided throughout the process, which made everything feel straightforward and ensured the purchase went as smoothly as possible. I’m very happy that I chose Winston Solicitors and would highly recommend them.
