Geoffrey Jones, 80, was first diagnosed with testicular cancer in 1971 when he was 26. He has also survived prostate cancer, lymphoma, a tumour on the spine and four bouts of skin cancer. But all the radiotherapy he has received over the decades means the security guards at his local Sainsbury's now turn the alarm off when he comes in to stop him triggering it.

Masithokoze Moyo from Kidderminster who had her driving licence and passport cancelled and credit cards declined after her bank declared her dead. Release date ??? March 11, 2025. Masithokoze Moyo, who works for DWP, said she has been left in a "mess" and on a "rollercoaster" journey since the Co-operative Bank informed her creditors and next-of-kin that she had died. The 45-year-old said: "I rang the Co-operative bank on February 6 to cancel my direct debits. I wanted to cancel them as I was moving to Santander. "The woman on the phone had to put down a reason for why I was moving banks and she ticked 'deceased'. The bank then wrote to all my creditors to tell them I'd died. "Since then, it has just been a mess. I've been on a huge rollercoaster ride. I'm stressed, I've had to be hospitalised and I'm suffering short-term memory loss.??? On February 12, Ms Moyo claims she went shopping to find her credit cards were all being declined.
