Shop error leaves Orkney island with more Easter eggs than people

Shop owner hatches plan to run charity competition so one person can win 100 of the spare eggs

An error by a shop on the Orkney island of Sanday has left it with 720 Easter eggs in the store - far more than its entire population.

Sinclair General Stores needed to order 80 eggs, but instead accidentally ordered 80 cases of nine, giving them a total of 720 for the 500-strong population.
