An order blunder by a shop on the Orkney island of Sanday has left it with hundreds of Easter eggs - far more than the population. Only 80 were needed, but 80 cases were mistakenly ordered by Sinclair General Stores. It now has 720 chocolate eggs for an island population of about 500 people. Embarrassed shop owner Dan Dafydd is now raffling off 100 of the eggs to one lucky winner, in aid of the RNLI. Mr Dafydd said their Easter egg stock now out-numbered the population of Sanday. "I don't think conventional means is going to get rid of them," he said. "We've been thinking outside the box a little bit."We're doing a 'guess the number' square to win 100 Easter Eggs, with proceeds going to the RNLI." He added: "If you won them you'd probably just give them all away, but a couple of customers were pretty set on the idea of trying to eat all 100."
