Pisser Of The Week
We have all had a Specsaver moment but perhaps not as extreme as that experienced by James Dowly.
Driving by the Mere in Ellesmere in Shropshire with his father, James spotted an object floating face down in the water. Without any more ado, our hero stopped the car and jumped into the freezing water, I read this week.
Imagine his surprise, then, when having waded out to what he thought was a baby, he found that it was a plastic doll, wearing a pink and black striped cardigan and a white Babygro. In his defence James claimed that from a distance the object looked “very lifelike.”
As is the modern way, the whole incident was captured on camera.
Better to be safe than sorry, I suppose, but book that eye test as quickly as you can is my recommendation.
