Somerset Sizzles
Soaring temperatures this week have triggered several 'incidents' across Somerset in recent days as the county struggles to cope with heat and humidity.
A state of emergency was declared in Huish Episcopi on Wednesday when the stench from the men's urinals at The Rose and Crown overwhelmed staff at the car showroom next door.
At Langport Town Hall the white enamel melted on the clock making it run across its face, "It's the first time it's looked clean since my 18th birthday" said the Editor of Carry On Langport - as he dashed home to write another 'exclusive'.
This Whatley woman suffered an eye infection while enjoying the sun on Cocklemoor.
At Portcullis House old people's home in Eastover, afternoon leap frog had to be cancelled yesterday while down the road at Tesco, even the cucumbers had to be put on ice.
Over in the White Lion beer garden - the landlord and landlady, pictured, spotted their neighbours - local architect Clive Miller and his partner - sunbathing in the nuddy.
Further afield in Somerton, the felt melted off the roof of the town's airport - the Edgar Hall - which reportedly exposed 'several million pounds' hidden away in the attic, although that hasn't been confirmed.
Finally over at Glastonbury, three hippies were injured when their dreadlocks caught fire. It happened outside Boots The Chemist where staff successfully treated them with a selection of products - forcing the town's 45 crystal healers to admit that their methods were "a load of bollocks".
