Man reunited with false teeth... 11 YEARS after vomiting them into a bin in Benidorm

A Tameside man who lost his false teeth while vomiting into a bin on a night out in Benidorm has been reunited with them more than a decade later.

The Spanish authorities tracked down Paul Bishop using his DNA after his dentures were found in landfill.

The 63-year-old was left 'stunned' when his gnashers turned up in the letterbox at his home in Stalybridge yesterday morning (February 9).

"I realised it must have been in the bin.

"We went back but there were hundreds of bottles in there."

"I'd taken my Elvis suit and promised my mates I would sing, so I had to do it with no teeth in," he explained.

"Everyone thought it was hilarious."
