Ironing out the creases

Sportsmen have been ironing at landmarks across Lincoln as part of a challenge set by a local cricket club. The idea was for two team members - racing another team against the clock - to be snapped posing with an iron and board and board at places such as Lord Tennyson's statue and Lincoln Cathedral. Club secretary Matt Benson said: it was something "a bit different".

New Year customs

More than 100 people saw in New Year's Day by filling out a tax return at their computer, HM Revenue and Customs figures revealed.

As clocks chimed and champagne corks popped, 102 people submitted their selfassessment forms in the final hour of 2011.

Nearly 12,000 people in total took time out of their New Year's Eve celebrations to fill out their returns across the day.
