2026/07/17

A woman in Sheffield got pulled over for driving without a valid MOT—her car’s safety check—and claimed she didn’t know what an MOT even was, mistaking it for a monthly car fee.

A mother’s tragic role in a murder: Kiran Kaur, 53, sentenced to three years for removing the murder weapon—a knife—after her son Vickrum Digwa killed 18-year-old Henry Nowak in December 2025. Her actions, the court ruled, helped conceal her son’s crime and sabotaged the investigation, allowing him to falsely claim racial abuse. Digwa, 23, received life with 21 years minimum. The knife was later recovered via CCTV. Prosecutors said her act directly enabled Nowak’s isolation and death. Kaur’s

Peppermint Oil Trick Stops Window Flies | Leeds News

2026/07/17

Tired of dead flies piling up on your windowsills? Here’s the fix: peppermint oil. Flies are drawn to light but can’t get through glass, so they crash and die there. The solution? Mix 10–20 drops of pure peppermint oil with water, spray it around windows, or soak cotton balls and place them on sills. The menthol confuses their senses and repels them. Reapply every few days, and clean up any existing flies first—dead flies attract more. Keep your home tidy and seal cracks to prevent future
