A pensioner trying to buy tea accidentally bought a jumbo pack of condoms instead. Rosemarie Riley, 76, said the mix-up happened because she left her glasses at home. “I just threw everything onto the conveyor belt and shoved them in the bag, I didn't think,” she said. “I was mortified, my husband was more upset because I'd spent £17 on them,” she said.

Woman in vegan cafe stumbles upon ‘satanic sex cult’

A woman says she stumbled across a meeting of a “satanic sex cult” while having brunch at a vegan cafe in south London. When Anya Driscoll went to the toilet at the Bonnington Cafe in Vauxhall she came across the meeting of 20 people in floor-length black robes with ceremonial daggers eating pork pies. It is thought the gathering was of the Order of Oriental Templars - a group connected with the occultist Aleister Crowley.
