A Bernese Mountain Dog who goes by the name of Beans has become a viral sensation for his love of a chippy tea.

Beans is the star of his very own TikTok page, which is run by his owner Wesley Newton, who set up the account during the 2020 lockdown to document his daily life. 

The account consists mainly of videos of Beans trotting around his hometown of Nantwich, and popping in and out of local shops for attention and treats from local residents. 

But this month, Beans reached a whole new level of fame when Wesley filmed one of his many visits to the local chippy, where he gets fed a sausage whenever he passes.

 

The video, which has since been viewed over 3.9 million times, shows Beans queuing outside the Coral Reef chippy and patiently waiting for a piece of sausage, which the restaurant’s manager Simon White eventually feeds to him. 

Thanks to the clip, Beans was quickly catapulted to viral fame, with people from all over the world watching his chippy antics. 

But on a more local scale, Wesley told Cheshire Live that the last week has been ‘mad’ with Beans getting recognised regularly out on the street.

He said: “It’s gone a bit crazy this week. It’s a bit overwhelming with everyone getting in touch. But he’s just so unaware and is just carrying on doing his daily thing. Walks this week have been a bit mad, stopping and starting. We must have done like twenty selfies with people.

Speaking of his dog’s love for Coral Chippy, Wesley added: “He would go past there every day if he could but we tend to go there once every couple of weeks.”

He explained that there are a number of other establishments in the area that welcome Beans with open arms, including the post office, most of the charity shops, the dog café, Chatwins, the White Horse pub, the Wilbraham Arms, and the Ginger and Pickles café.

Following Beans’ viral success, he and Wesley have been asked to be the faces of the annual Woof Mudder (Tough Mudder for dogs and their owners) this year, which will be taking place in May.

Dad accidentally buys 60 pairs of reading glasses

‘He thought the packaging was a little excessive’

A dad accidentally bought 60 pairs of reading glasses after misreading an order.

The dad has gone viral on Twitter for his massive order of reading spectacles. He was left baffled as to why the parcel was so full when it arrived at his address on Sunday March 26th, leaving his son in stitches.

Tom Arnold, 61, from Perranporth in Cornwall, thought he’d only ordered one pack to share with his wife — not a whole shop’s worth. Radio and podcast host, Chris Arnold could not stop laughing as he witnessed his dad open the parcel with a bewildered look on his face.

The viral tweet read: “My Dad has accidentally bought 60 pairs of reading glasses off the internet after misreading the quantity of his order.”

Speaking about the mishap, Chris said: “I just found it hilarious, he said he thought the packaging was excessive, then he opened it up and the box was full.

“He seemed confused as to what had happened. We looked at the order and he had ordered 12 packs instead of one, as they were for him and my mum, plus spares. The order came to over £100 but he’s managed to get a refund!”

He described the incident as ‘very funny indeed’, saying it ‘cheered up’ him and his family. As the tweet went viral and accumulated thousands of likes, Specsavers jumped in on the banter as they tweeted: “Do we even need to say it?”

Chris joked in reply: “At this point guys, I don’t think you do. P.S. Are you interested in buying 59 pairs of reading glasses off my dad?”

They hilariously replied: “If you can’t shift them you might want to consider adding an extra 118 eyes to your dad’s face.”

Specsavers tweeted an update on the situation: “The glasses have been safely returned, but Chris’ dad deserves a bit of good luck. How about a free eye test and a brand-new pair of glasses for good measure?

“You really should’ve gone to Specsavers.”

BBC & Adidas

A ‘fit as a fiddle’ charity runner, 85, from Greater Manchester has been chosen to be one of the faces of a new Adidas advert.

Barbara Thackray, a grandmother from Altrincham, runs 10k twice a week to keep fit. She has been chosen — alongside the likes of Liverpool footballer, Mo Salah, Qatari hurdler Mariam Farid and Egyptian runner Khadija Hegazy in the new TV and YouTube advert — as one of the faces of to feature in it.

The retired college lecturer took up running eight years ago, aged 77, to raise funds for St Ann’s Hospice in Heald Green, Stockport.

She has been raising money for the hospice since her sister died there in the 1990s.

She said she watched the new advert ‘on a little screen’ and it was ‘fine’, adding: “So long as they were prepared to make a significant donation to St Ann’s Hospice, I felt ok about it.”

Ms Thackray has raised over £20,000 for St Ann’s Hospice in just a few short years, having been a champion of the organisation for over 10 years — including during her sister’s illness and eventual passing.

She’s not planning on stopping running any time soon.
