Pub-goers in Oldham were left in hysterics when a cheeky punter apparently tried to “sneak” into the beer garden by climbing over a fence – only to get stuck hanging upside down on the railing.
The hilarious moment – which happened at The Hope and Anchor, in Royton last Friday evening – was captured on camera by onlooker Nicole Meadows, who was simply just enjoying a drink at her local when she spotted a daring duo attempting to land a vacant bench.
The video shows one girl attempting to step over the fence to get to the bench, but appears to get her foot stuck. While she’s trying to set herself free from being trapped, her pal decides to fling herself over the railing, but unfortunately, the waist of her jeans becomes caught on the metalwork of the fence and ends up flipping her the wrong way to leave her suspended upside down.
After about 30 seconds upside down, the unknown woman is finally helped back over the fence by a stranger who comes to help.
The woman then hilariously exclaims “I’ve hurt my vagina” to entertained customers.

“It was hilarious. I’ve never seen anything like that before [and] everybody was laughing.” Nicole, from Middleton, admitted.
“They’d closed the doors because the pub was full, but there were still a couple of empty benches outside [so] the girls were trying to climb over the fence to sit at one of the benches and get served.

“The first girl managed to get over, but the second one didn’t.
“We all found it funny [and] she’s lucky it’s an open beer garden because she could have been dangling there”.

The landlady of The Hope and Anchor pub, Margaret Newton, claims she asked the two girls to come back another time and was glad they weren’t hurt.

“The door was shut, she tried to get in and she wasn’t served.” Margaret said.
“That’s the only thing I can say. I told her to come back later on when it might have died down, but she didn’t do [and] I haven’t seen her since.
“They do tend to climb over the fence [but] if they climb over, the rule is they don’t get served. I’ll just be glad when we can get back to normal [so] we’ll be able to welcome people back in and save all this hassle”.
She added: “I’m just glad she didn’t hurt herself”.

Kyle Walker announces retirement from international football with England at 35
Danny Jones
Former Manchester City star and England defender has announced his retirement from international football at 35 years old.
He calls it a day for his country with nearly a century of appearances.
Kyle Walker, who has won six Premier Leagues, four Carabao trophies, a pair of FA Cups and a Champions League title with Man City, made his national team debut back in 2011.
Now, nearly a full decade and a half later, he is hanging up his boots on the biggest stage, retiring as England’s most capped right back in history.
As you can see, he confirmed the news in a highlight video looking back on her best moments with the Three Lions.
Sharing a lengthy and emotional statement in the caption, the Yorkshireman wrote: “After more than a decade representing my country, I have decided to retire from international football. Playing for England has always been the biggest honour of my career and something I will always be proud of.
“Thank you to every teammate, coach, manager, the 12th man, and everyone behind the scenes who has been part of the journey. Every roar from the fans pushed the team along, and I’m looking forward to joining them to support the lads in the World Cup.”
His last appearance in an England shirt came in June against Senegal, since dropping out of manager Thomas Tuchel’s first-choice team and future plans, with both form and age no doubt being factored into that decision.
Walker added: “The memories in an England shirt will stay with me forever.”
96 caps 🧢 Five major tournaments 🏴 A #ThreeLions legend ⭐
He went on to sign off by saying, “I also want to thank my family for their support every step of the way. They have made this journey even more special, and I will always be grateful to have shared it with them.”
The Sheffield-born fullback left Manchester last year following a loan spell at AC Milan, before joining fellow Premier League side Burnley FC permanently this past July.
Meanwhile, the Clarets are staring down relegation back to the Championship; however, this step will no doubt help Walker prolong his club career, whether or not he stays in Lancashire.
Where does Walker rank among the all-time England defenders in your mind?
