[1/2] Cricket - Second Test - England v New Zealand - Trent Bridge, Nottingham, Britain - June 14, 2022 England's Stuart Broad walks in ahead of play Action Images via Reuters/Andrew Boyers/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsSept 29 (Reuters) - The Pavilion End at Trent Bridge will be renamed the Stuart Broad End to recognise one of England's greatest bowlers who retired earlier this year after the Ashes series. Broad, who played his final test in July when England tied 2-2 with Australia, took 604 test wickets -- behind only Muttiah Muralitharan, Shane Warne, James Anderson and Anil Kumble. The Pavilion End holds a special place in Broad's heart as he bagged the only test hat-trick seen at the venue, against India in 2011. Broad picked up 190 wickets in 43 appearances for county and country at Trent Bridge. Broad's former team mate Anderson, England's leading wicket taker, had an end named after him in 2017 at his home ground Old Trafford -- the end where Broad picked up his 600th test wicket.

But, as the aisles of charity shops across the UK show, a lot of people do choose to donate them.

Un băiat de 4 ani din Anglia s-a folosit de mașina lui de poliție de jucărie, cu numărul de urgență scris pe ea, pentru a suna la poliție să anunțe că mama lui a avut o criză și a leșinat, scrie digi24. Tot micuțul a fost cel care le-a dat cheile polițiștilor prin fanta cutiei poștale. Femeia din Nottingham, care face crize non-epileptice, a spus că și-a pierdut conștiența sâmbătă la prânz, când soțul ei era plecat la muncă. Mi-au spus că au crezut că vor trebui să spargă ușa, dar el le-a dat cheile prin fanta cutiei poștale. Chiar dacă sunau la ușă, mai întâi a verificat la geam să fie sigur că e poliția înainte de a le da cheile”, a mai adăugat mama băiatului.
