Woman finds snake in bag of broccoli florets
Mum Tina Cosby was preparing tea for her family when she discovered the foot-long snake among the greens she had bought from a Tesco store in Essex.
She said: "I was hysterical. I'm not a lover of spiders so a snake in the kitchen...
"I was also a bit nervous because I thought it might be poisonous".
The European smooth snake had survived a trip in an aeroplane hold and a night in the Cosby's fridge and he was pretty chilly when he was taken to see vet Nigel Spraule.
Tesco has apologised and given the Cosbys a £50 voucher.
IKEA? Who wants to go on Sunday?
SNAKES in a motherfuckin SUPERMARKET!
Snakes in a Supermarket!
ahem. Snakes in a GOTDAMN Supermarket.
eta: ah, great minds.
We should be an IKEA affiliate.
Have we made any $$ off the affiliates, btw?
A Snake in the Kitchen would be a great name for a children's book! And this
I'm not a lover of spiders so a snake in the kitchen...
has a wonderful Tori Amos-meets-Hillaire Billoc feel. I know what she means, but that ellipsis is so intriguing.
Or maybe I need more coffee.
I have nothing to do today. Why no more IKEA, Tom? I need to buy furniture but feel sick at prices that are above IKEA's.
Have we made any $$ off the affiliates, btw?
Yeah, totally. We get... dozens? of dollars from Amazon per quarter.
Heh. Trudy and Vortex, I was thinking the same. Then I got a vision of SLJ fighting snakes in the produse aisle.
ION, last night I had a dream set in my office. In my dream, I tore a page off the Buffista Word-a-Day Calendar.
I want one!
