Read this incredible story from South Korea:

Bogus mourner steals 1,200 pairs of shoes

A second hand shoe shop owner stole more than 1,200 pairs of designer shoes by posing as a mourner in South Korea. His haul has been put on display by police in Seoul in the hope of reuniting as many as possible with their rightful owners, reports the Times. The 59-year-old thief, named only as Mr Park by police, had literally walked off with his booty from funeral homes and hospitals across the capital.

His victims were the mourners who had slipped off their shoes out of respect, according to the national tradition. Park would take off his own footwear, pay his ‘respects’, then put on a more expensive pair and walk off. When police caught up with him after setting up a surveillance operation he led them to a warehouse stacked high with the expensive footwear that he had intended to boost his stock.

Police had watched as he arrived, suitably dressed in black, at one funeral home in southern Seoul’s Suseo district then removed his own cheap shoes – a custom observed by mourners visiting funeral homes in Asia. Then he made a brief appearance inside before leaving and slipping on a far more expensive pair. Police said they caught him stealing three pairs of shoes, altogether worth £1,120.

NASCAR Answer is….

Space fleet for sale!

I now know what we can fundraise for, a space shuttle!! 

The three shuttles-Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour-are worth $28.2m (£17.7m) each which is a bargain when originally they were worth $42 million (£25.8 m) but the price was plummeted to take in the cost of hauling the monster from the Kennedy Space Centre to a major US airport.

Eight-seaters Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour have a combined mileage of 341,311,994, a top speed of 17,231mph. The space planes have been launched 129 times since 1981 and have completed 13,662 orbits.

Technically, the shuttles aren’t “for sale.” They remain the property of NASA and its official repository for artifacts, the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. But the Air & Space Museum is only taking one ship — Discovery — which leaves Atlantis and Endeavour up for grabs — assuming, or course, all three make it safely through their last year of flying. 

The United States is retiring the fleet after five more missions to complete construction of the International Space Station. By the end of this year, the shuttles will be ready for their new mission as museum pieces.

What a great story!! Haha!

Get Well Soon

I just want to say a BIG get well soon to Karen McDonald!! Hope you recover quickly and keep taking the Manuka Honey!! xx
