An error by a shop on the Orkney island of Sanday has left it with 720 Easter eggs in the store – far more than its entire population.
Sinclair General Stores needed to order 80 eggs, but instead accidentally ordered 80 cases of nine, giving it a total of 720 for the 500-strong population.
The shop’s owner Dan Dafydd described his initial “embarrassment and shame” when he realised how many eggs had arrived.
“The rest of the staff were chuckling and finding it very entertaining,” he added.
In the spirit of Willy Wonka, he is now running a competition to let one person win 100 of the spare eggs – all in aid of charity.
Well, this is embarrassing, but probably not a disaster: it's not uncommon for people to have more than one Easter egg each .
With that being said, it is nice that they're at least giving away some of the unwanted eggs to charity !
