Pensioner Finally Sheds Overcoat As Heatwave Continues
2018-07-24
Experts said it would never happen, but at 3pm yesterday afternoon, an old man from Rotherham finally shed his overcoat. Just 6 weeks into the current heatwave, Arthur Miller (84) from East Herringthorpe took the momentous decision to go to the local shops without his three-quarter length Crombie and flat cap.
“Mi homies down at the D&J thought I’d gone mental!” said a clearly elated Arthur who spends his spare time playing Bowls and watching MTV “but I was well warm so I just went for it. “
Arthur told the Bugle that he felt a bit of a chill somewhere around the frozen sprouts but was otherwise fine. “I’d do it again big time” he said “and I might even leave my scarf and jacket at home next time. I’m still buzzin’.”
As we went to press, an evangelical Arthur was enthusiastically trying to convert a group of elderly women to the benefits of dispensing with their thermal vests.
