Drunk squirrel wreaks havoc in Worcestershire private members’ club
A drunken squirrel has ransacked a private members bar in Worcestershire, causing hundreds of pounds worth of damage.
Except in this case, the inebriated mischief-maker is a squirrel.
When Sam Boulter, the secretary of Honeybourne Railway Club, came in the next morning, he thought that there had been a burglary and was about to call the cops, when he discovered the real culprit.
He then spotted a squirrel “staggering around” after coming out from behind a box of crisps, presumably with his tail between his legs.
Boulter added that the perpetrator was certainly bushy-tailed, but far from bright-eyed.
“I’d never seen anything like it before – he had run around the shelves and across the bar”.
Eventually Sam managed to corner the animal after it dashed into the gents toilet – where he caught it inside a waste paper bin before throwing it out a toilet window.
A close friend of the squirrel (and totally real source) told HuffPost Weird that his buddy was on a bender, having recently gone through a divorce and forced to take out a second tree mortgage.
Notably, this is hardly the most terrifying thing we’ve seen a squirrel do in the last week.
He estimates that bar lost at least £300 worth of stock as a result.
This squirrel sounds like the kinda guy I’d like to get “sozzled” with.
Drinking beer also makes squirrel long for chips. “It’s safe to say he is now barred from the club for life”, he said.
