This woman found a necklace in the rubbish and bought a house

Afternoon all, Today we have stories of a surprisingly lucrative living, the secret to speeding up the school run and the things that make you shout at the screen “they never do that”. Rubbish picker Cleonice found a necklace in the rubbish dump she was working in. She sold it and built a two-storey house. She even had enough money left over to take a holiday from rubbish-picking for another month. Another rubbish picker Geraldo found $21,000 (£14,000) in bank notes. And then there’s Tiao. He found a copy of Machiavelli’s The Prince. He dried it behind the fridge, ironed it, read it, took on its advice and became the leader of the rubbish pickers in the biggest dump in Latin America. But then they shut the rubbish dump down.

Striking gold - at a rubbish dump Children often don't feel like walking, to put it mildly. This can be a bit of a problem on the school run. But there’s been a big shift recently - to kids using scooters. It’s taken off so much that schools have even started installing scooter parking bays. If a kid is on a scooter it speeds up the journey. But some people argue it speeds it up a bit too much. Derek Smulders isn’t convinced. He runs a safe scootering course (yes, those exist too) and estimates most young children do not exceed 4mph on the pavement and usually stay at around parents' walking speed of 3mph. How children's scooters transformed the school run That famous pot making scene in the Patrick Swayze film Ghost haunts Gary Cooper. His job is to show tourists how to make pots. They often ask about the scene. He is astounded that Demi Moore's character is throwing pots in her living room. Anyone who has worked on a pottery will tell you that you'd never do that - clay gets everywhere, literally everywhere. We can just imagine him, and the other readers who told us their gripes about unrealistic portrayals of their jobs, shouting at his screen. Readers' gripes about TV depictions of their jobs
