Willy Wonka Glasgow: How a bizarre Scottish event went viral around the world

1 hr ago

THE story of a “Willy Wonka” experience gone wrong at a venue in Whiteinch has gone global.

Priced at £35 a ticket, the ‘Willy Wonka Chocolate Experience” promised a “paradise of sweet treats” as well as “mind-expanding projections and optical marvels”.

However, one parent has told how their eight-year-old child was left in tears at the experience as organisers pulled the plug halfway through the first day after being met with a furious reaction.

Parents were left “shocked” by the “pathetic” event as one explained how their children “received two jelly babies and a quarter of a can of Barr’s limeade”.

The story was first reported in the Sunday Mail at the weekend, and was then picked up by a number of Scottish outlets including Glasgow Live, STV and the BBC.

TikTok fame for Tonteg woman dangling from shop shutters

2 hours ago

A woman who was hoisted into the air by shop shutters has joked she will have to "handle the fame" after CCTV of the incident went viral.

Anne Hughes, a cleaner at Best One convenience store in Tonteg, Rhondda Cynon Taf, was lifted several feet into the air when her coat got caught.

The store shared the clip on TikTok where it has been watched 1.8 million times.

"I'll never hear the end of it," she said.

Ms Hughes, 72, said she retired formally seven years ago but had been working at the store since then.

Moment dog sparks house fire after chewing power bank

1 day ago

An indoor monitoring camera shows the moment a dog unintentionally caused a house fire after chewing on a portable lithium-ion battery power bank.

In the video released by Tulsa Fire Department in Oklahoma, two dogs and a cat can be seen in the living room before a spark started the fire that spread within minutes.

Tulsa Fire Department public information officer Andy Little said the pets escaped through a dog door, and according to local media the family was also evacuated safely.

"Had there not been a dog door, they very well could have passed away," he told CBS affiliate KOTV.
