Friggin Sparrows

Im gonna quit next week, promise!

Im gonna quit next week, promise!

OK people, here is the real reason why smoking is dangerous.Paul Sheriff from Leasingham was miffed to say the least when his village store went up in flames. Imagine his face when the insurance investigators told him it was the fault of a cigarette addicted sparrow. Hmm, it seems the nest building creature had found itself a smoldering cigarette and thought … that would would be nice. Hmm, the perfect finishing touch to its ashtray dry twig nest.Needless to say, one thing  lead to another and well…..one big friggin fire…enter firefighters and £250,000 of damage. On closer inspection of the smoldering rubble they found over 35 cigarette ends in various sparrow’s nest throughout the roof. I guess Mr Sheriff was just unlucky he had one bird that hadn’t kicked the habit. No word on whether the sparrows eggs edded up fried or scrambled!
