Dog rescued from Ben Nevis suspected to have eaten discarded cannabis
A dog has been rescued from Ben Nevis after it is suspected to have fallen ill from eating discarded cannabis. Christina Bluhme, a dog trainer from Esher in Surrey, was halfway up the UK's highest mountain when her black Labrador Tokyo collapsed on the trail. Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team came to their aid and stretchered Tokyo down from the 4,413ft (1,345m) peak to a local vet. Bluhme said Tokyo had made a full recovery after the incident during a trip to Scotland last weekend. She said vets believe she ingested cannabis left on the trail.

Toll bridge fine issued to driver 270 miles away
A driver said he was left perturbed after receiving a fine for crossing a toll bridge more than 270 miles from his home despite insisting he had never been near it. Graham Parsons, from Plymouth, Devon, received an unpaid toll charge for using the Warburton Toll Bridge, which links Cheshire and Greater Manchester. His case is one of a number raised by motorists who have complained about the bridge's payment and enforcement system. Peel Ports said there had been some genuine customer experience issues, but the evidence did not indicate a systemic failure of the system. The bridge previously cost 12p a crossing, but the charge was increased to £1 following refurbishment works in recent years .
How Aldi is taking on US supermarkets with its 4 almond butter
When Mary Porter walked into Manhattan's newest Aldi store hunting for bargains, the long-time resident found what she considered a retail miracle in plain sight: a $4 jar of almond butter that costs $22 in her own neighbourhood. Aldi has the reputation for being inexpensive, so I thought I would come and check it out, and by golly, it is amazing, Porter, 79, told the BBC, marvelling at the savings alongside the fresh spinach and organic raspberries filling her basket. To the unassuming passer-by, the storefront is completely hidden, tucked away in an underground parking lot beneath The Ellery, a luxury apartment complex where the cheapest rent starts at nearly $5,000 (£3,725) a month. In fact, the building's own website completely omits the discount grocer from its curated online neighbourhood guide, choosing instead to highlight pricier nearby options like Whole Foods and Brooklyn Fare. But step past the luxury façade into the basement, and the quiet disappears.
