Scarborough: This week, a curious seal made quite the splash by taking a break on a beach. It was spotted lounging on a lifeboat ramp, much to the delight of locals.

In another head-turning story, firefighters in Leicestershire had a unique rescue mission. They saved two guinea pigs from a house fire, which is not something you hear every day!

Then there’s the tale of a man who was found drunk while riding a horse outside a pub. He was reported for not having any lights or reflective gear, which is a bit of a no-no.

And let’s not forget the frustrated Yorkshire man who’s had it with cars crashing into his garden wall. He’s seen too many accidents on the road near his home and is understandably upset.

In a bizarre incident in Hanley, police stopped a car because a wardrobe was hanging out of the boot. A passenger was literally hanging on for dear life to keep it from falling off!

Lastly, in Leeds, older folks are getting active with walking football. It’s a fun way for them to stay fit and enjoy the game without the usual hustle and bustle.
