Hapless Hampshire farmer, Jed Bread, was today wondering what he's done to bring on such a spell of bad luck.
For in the last 3 months Jed has been struck by lightening no fewer than 10 times. The slightly frazzled farmer comments:
"I don't rightly know what's going on here, I really don't. It just seems that every time there's a thunderstorm these days, I ends up getting struck me old dear me old ducker. In fact on one occasion there had been no storms or any trace of lightening in the UK for weeks and I was still struck.
Take yesterday for example. As usual I went out on the cliff-tops during the storm, lashed myself to a very tall tree, stuck a golf club above my head and I was still struck. I mean to say, what's the chances of that happening me old dear me old ducker? Them boffins says that lightening never strikes in the same place twice. Well them wrong I can tell 'ee"
Professor, Sparky Voltage, of the University of Hard Knocks told us:
"Mr Bread's case is unusual indeed. We have been trying to understand why he is always having this happen to him and have come to the conclusion that he is probably the biggest fuckwit we have ever studied"
