Rings & Swollen Fingers

The Almuñécar fire service were called in under unusual circumstances, even though Tom Jones might sing otherwise.

ALM Rings and Swollen FingersA woman could not get her wedding ring off her finger as the digit, along with the rest of the hand, had swollen up…

So who do you call? Batman? Thunderbirds? A professional pickpocket? No! The fire service, of course. Well, perhaps not, ‘of course.’

Anyway, this is what she did and fire personnel were soon at the scene, fully clothed, which thwarted her intentions, perhaps.

It’s not clear how, but these public servants, well versed in removing infants heads from between railing, cats from trees and posing for calendars, were able to cut the wedding ring off.

Three fire fighters were required for the task, according to their Twitter account.

Editorial comment: Yes, yes, it’s now known as “X” as the BBC endlessly remind us but it’s a ridiculous name.
