Mum horrified after finding ‘disturbing' hidden messages on daughter's dress
Mum Savannah has posted on TikTok how she discovered inappropriate comments with sexual innuendo in small print written on a dress which she had bought for her young daughter A mum has told how she was shocked to find her child's dress decorated with bunnies and jelly beans also had messages with sexual innuendo. Savannah posted on TikTok about her worrying discovery and has warned other parents to take care with her video now having received more than 23 million views. She shows the dress in the clip which looks perfectly innocent with the pink top showing three bunnies and then a white dress with more drawings but also some messages in very small print. And the mum said how she wondered what the messages where one day and that was when she made the shocking discovery. 'One day, when she was napping, I figured I'd take a peek and see what they actually said,' she told in the video. And then she continued, saying that one of the short comments read: 'Want to have an Easter egg hunt under the covers?' Another with sexually charged language read: 'This coupon entitles you to one free peep show!' And they went on in a similar tone with one stating: 'Let's pretend we're rabbits and do whatever comes naturally,' and another message read: 'My tulips (two lips) want to be on your tulips.' The 'weirdest,' according to Savannah, said: 'You've been the best husband and friend a girl could have ever asked for'. Many agreed that the comments were extremely disturbing. 'WTF,' one of the top responses read, reflecting the general sentiment in more than 20,000 comments. Others asked, 'Where did you get that?' as some described the dress as 'disturbing,' 'nasty,' and 'ew'.' 'The world is so perverted now,' said another. However, a few suggested it could have been simply an innocent mistake. One social media user wrote: 'Aww, maybe it was an accident & they accidentally wrote all that.' The dress was made by a US small business called Lele & Co. In response, the company took down the item and issued a statement on its website. It read: 'I would like to express my deepest apologies for the inappropriate text found on one of the clothing items sold in my store. This particular piece was a resale item from a vendor, and regrettably, I did not catch the offensive wording before it was listed. 'Please rest assured that this does not align with the values I uphold or support. We are in the process of taking any and all necessary legal actions against the vendor. For the record, the item in question has been promptly removed from my website and all social media accounts. All remaining stock was destroyed immediately.'

Last batch of rare final Queen Elizabeth II £1 coins entering circulation
The final batch of Queen Elizabeth II £1 coins are entering circulation across the UK, the Royal Mint has announced. More than 23 million Queen coins are being released alongside 7.5 million new King Charles III £1 coins. The Royal Mint said the last of the Elizabeth II coins, dated 2022, are the rarest £1 coins in active circulation. The historic transition – with the dual release of almost 31 million coins – represents a significant moment for UK coinage, as the nation witnesses the changeover from Britain's longest-reigning monarch to her son and heir on the £1 denomination, the Royal Mint said. The Queen's £1 coins will be the final ones bearing Elizabeth II's portrait to enter circulation. Rebecca Morgan, director of commemorative coin at the Royal Mint, said: 'This release represents a pivotal moment in British coinage history. 'As we release more of the King Charles III £1 coins into circulation alongside the final coins of Queen Elizabeth II, we're witnessing the physical representation of our monarchy's transition. 'This dual release creates an exceptional opportunity for both seasoned numismatists and those new to coin collecting.' The Royal Mint is encouraging the public to check its change over the coming weeks, as the new coins begin to appear in pockets and tills across the nation. Ms Morgan added: 'Finding these new coins in your change could spark a rewarding hobby that connects you with the heritage, history and craftsmanship behind British currency.' Since the introduction of the King's effigy on UK coinage in 2023, the 50p and £1 are the only denominations with Charles's portrait to have entered circulation so far. The King's £1 coins feature an intricate bee design on the reverse and are part of the Definitive collection, inspired by the flora and fauna of the British Isles. Some 2.975 million £1s with the King's effigy were released in August last year. In total, there are around 24.7 billion coins in circulation across the UK, with the King's coins representing only around 0.004% of those, making his new coins highly desirable to collectors. All UK coins bearing the Queen's portrait will remain legal tender and in active circulation to allow a smooth transition and minimise the environmental impact and cost.

Tourists 'spot' weird beast in Loch Ness waters
Domino's, which has been diversifying the way it delivers its goods in recent months, including via robot dog and on a pothole proof bike – has now gone one step further, utilising a semi-submersible watercraft. The shark like submarine, which can reach speeds of up to almost 45 miles per hour and jump five metres in height from the water, was able to deliver pizzas to campers on the shores. Designed for stealth and speed, the craft is powered by a 300-horsepower high-performance engine. (Image: Robert Perry/PinPep) While the sighting wasn't of the Loch Ness Monster, those watching from the shore were staggered at the sheer pace of the unidentified object which delivered the pizza brands goods to the pair at a nearby camping spot in Loch Ness, Scotland. Captured on video, this high-speed vessel moves across the open water performing a series of moves that break the surface, before pulling up next to a couple waiting on a dock for a pizza. Izzy Gardener, from Pizza Delivery Innovation at Domino's said: 'We're always looking for new and unexpected ways to deliver to our customers, and this summer we wanted to make a splash with another quirky delivery, "Loch Ness is known for its legends, so it felt like the perfect place to test the waters of a world-first submarine delivery.' This is the latest wacky way in which the brand is trying to push the boundaries when it comes to delivering pizza. The Domi-dog, a robot pooch designed to keep pizza safe this summer from pesky seagulls, was let loose on a south coast beach. Another was the pothole proof delivery bike, complete with onboard oven set to 68C to keep orders warm in transit. Not to mention their other endeavours to break new markets with the creation of a Pepperoni Passion perfume ahead of Valentines Day. And the Easter Release of the limited-edition Garlic & Herb Egg. Izzy Gardener added: 'While we won't be training all drivers to become pilots of this unique mode of transport anytime soon, it shows our ongoing commitment to innovation and how far we'll go to deliver to our customers.'
