Elderly man ‘calmly’ smokes pipe while ‘sinking’ in Loxley lake

He wasn’t hurt or even cold but crews removed his clothing

😯

“He smoked his pipe and chatted to the farmer, who went into the lake in waders”.

Great test for his incontinence pants 😉

He was fishing the lake, one assumes he knew it wasn’t deep, why panic?

He was fishing the lake

If he’d been an aging hippy he’d no doubt have been smoking a roach.

Not sure whether to cringe or laugh… hmmmmm…

I think he was after trout tbh

How very au-dace-ious!

He was just doing what any old sailor would when their vessel was going down.

Standing to a-tench-ion.

Or maybe he had just dropped off his perch.

Well he certainly didn’t flounder.

If he’d been badly injured he might have needed the attention of a sturgeon.

(and damn, if only Chris Grayling had been health secretary).

Lake? Looks like a ford to me.

He was perched on the edge of his seat until rescued.

Fish puns.
I know I keep carping on about it, but it’s what I like best about this plaice.
