The cost of living has gone up nine tenths of a point to 103.6, says the Ministry of Labour. The rise is mainly due to dearer vegetables and eggs.
Gold and jewels worth £4,000,000 lie buried in the wreckage of King Saud’s Comet, which crashed on the snowy Alpine peak of Monte Matto - the Mad Mountain. Among the jewels is the famous £30,000 Wells of Love diamond, which is said to carry a curse. Now Italian authorities are afraid looters will steal this fortune before official search parties find the plane.
@HannahHowe I can see looters trying to locate it. That would be quite a find. Hopefully the Italian authorities find it first.
