A holidaymaker who lost his false teeth while vomiting into a bin on a boozy night out in Benidorm was stunned when they turned up in the post 11 years on.
Paul Bishop, 63, said he "fell ill" after drinking cider during a night out in the Spanish party resort in 2011.
After Paul's dentures were found in landfill, Spanish authorities used DNA records to eventually track him to his Stalybridge, Greater Manchester home.
He said he was "gobsmacked and stunned" when he saw his long-lost gnashers.
He explained that his false teeth had been passed from the landfill site to authorities.
"Next thing you know, they have found my DNA and address from British records, and popped it in the post."
Paul described the whole thing as "unbelievable".
"Everyone knows about my famous teeth... I am going to have to open a Stalybridge teeth museum!"
