ENGLAND: A man who crashed his car while on the way to propose to his girlfriend still popped the question — in the back of a police car.
Caine Hutchings, 30, was driving Emily Dukeson, 27, and their two dogs to a scenic spot on the cliffs at Blue Anchor, Somerset, on Saturday.

They were picked up in a marked police car by Pc Nicola Rickards, of Avon and Somerset Police, who offered to take them to a nearby pub.

“I said I’d drop them and the dogs at the Pipers Inn in Ashcott, he sat in the back and she was in the front,” Pc Rickards said.
“All of a sudden he produced the box through the middle; I’m not sure who was more excited.
“I had to remind her to give him an answer after a few ’oh my gods’ and ’seriously?’ from her, and said he ought to get down on one knee and do it properly when we got to the pub and that I wasn’t leaving until he did.”
The couple plan to marry next year.

USA: Pittsburgh has “won” an ugliest accent tournament in the United States, beating the other finalist — Scranton — in a reader’s poll with more than 54% of the vote.
Gossipy news site Gawker.com set up a tournament bracket pitting what it deemed the 16 ugliest city accents in the US against one another.
Pittsburgh advanced to the finals by winning readers’ votes over Atlanta, Philadelphia and Boston.
The Pittsburgh accent, an odd amalgam of southern twang and lazy East Coast diction — which turns downtown into “dahntahn” and you all into “yinz” — “worsted” Scranton by a vote of 10,404 to 8,748.
