I know its the mail, but this story is an absolute corker! When working from home it seems walking from your bed to your desk officially counts as commuting in Germany...

Ignoring the silly home ruling, does that mean a German employer is responsible for the safety of employees on their commute to work.
That seems a very onerous responsibility.

Screenshot from The Dundalk Leader

In a truly shocking turn of events, a daredevil left a shop wearing a jacket that he had tried on, having forgotten to take off. He inspired this headline in The Dundalk Leader.

Sean Smith of Dundalk ended up purchasing the item after pleading guilty to theft charges, but not before receiving a 150 euro fine. Smith had 40 previous charges related to “accidental” theft.
