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!"

How bizarre, I sure wouldn't want them back

I presume they did the DNA test to see if they belonged to anyone missing?

I did wonder if he put them in :confused:

It also sounds like it would have been an expensive process for a set of false teeth!

Yes, I think that is why they did the DNA test too---they wondered if there was an entire body there somewhere. When they discovered he was alive and living in Manchester, they decided to send them back, to be done with it. lol
