Skittle team 'horror'



...as minibus goes out of control on Seven Bends...

Several members of the Rose and Crown skittle team are recovering at home today after the minibus they were travelling in went out of control on its way to Othery last night.

The sportsmen, known locally as 'the Eli's AA team' and who'd been drinking since their last win (1978), were on their way to Othery's London Inn as the vehicle sped round Seven Bends at over 90 mph.

This photograph (above) illustrates how the g-force was so strong, almost all members of the team lost consciousness as they sang 'Roll me over in the clover' for the 8th time.


"They're usually an hour late anyway" said the landlady of the Othery pub, "so we didn't think anything was wrong"

"It's all my fault" said the driver, "that bloke in the hat wouldn't stop talking about Jeremy Corbyn and I just wanted to get to Othery and get him out..."

"...the bald bloke in the glasses was a pain in the arse as well" he added, "...he kept asking me to stop every time we passed a gate so he could count the housing plots"

Carry On Langport has this morning received this picture of two of the skittlers waiting at Musgrove Park Hospital's A&E department last night.


Matron said the men "perked up within seconds" moments after she gave both of them "a good internal probing"

There are no further details.
