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”.

Kirstie Allsopp threw a banana skin at a driver in Stockport in littering row
Daisy Jackson
TV personality Kirstie Allsopp has admitted that she threw a banana skin at a driver in Stockport after she caught them littering.
In a furious rant on Twitter, the Location, Location, Location star said that she ‘leapt out of the car’ in order to pick up the fruity peel that was thrown out of another car window.
She then lobbed it straight back into the car, at the littering offender.
Saying that she’s been ‘horrified’ by the state of litter across the UK, Kirstie detailed the incident from her visit to Stockport.
Kirstie said: “In the last few weeks, travelling around the UK, I’ve been horrified by how bad roadside litter has become. Why is litter so much worse, who thinks chucking an empty red bull, for example, out of a moving car is acceptable?
“Last week in Stockport a banana skin flew out of the window of the car in front, we were at [traffic lights] and I was a passenger so I leapt out of the car, picked it up and threw it back into the car, the driver just threw it back out again.

“But that’s not how to solve the problem. What is the solution…… £££ fines? In some places police take litter very seriously, I don’t feel that in the UK though. Closing roads to clear the litter? This would inconvenience us all, but would be a reminder of the cost of litter. Asking roadside landowners to clear their patch? What do you think?”
She later added: “I have a pet theory on this, I think a lot of litter is guilty eating, people consuming things they know they shouldn’t, and not wanting to dispose of the evidence at home.”
One fan replied to her: “Ohh you have been to my neck of the woods i have wrote to Stockport Council several times about cleaning all this litter up and there answer was ‘yes we are rotared to do a clear up in May’, i said ‘how about every month’, they replied ‘we do a clear up once a year only’. I just laughed.”
Yes, it’s true – in what is news that admittedly sounds fake, but somehow actually isn’t, one of the best rappers of all time has revealed himself to be an avid watcher of Britain’s longest-running soap, and is such a fan of it, in fact, that he said he’s “determined” to make an appearance on it sometime in the future.
The iconic ITV soap – which is set in the fictional Manchester suburb of Weatherfield, and celebrated an impressive 60 years of entertaining the masses back in 2020 – currently averages around six million viewers per episode, and has developed a well-deserved legion of loyal fans over the last six decades.
And it turns out, one of those loyal fans is chart-topping rap superstar Snoop Dogg.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun this week, the 51-year-old first spoke about how he’s “down to perform” at King Charles III‘s Coronation in a couple of months time, before he launching into how much he loves another type of coronation.
“Coronation Street, I love it,” the 17-time Grammy Award nominee admitted.

“If they call me I’ll do it. I’ll play whenever they need. I love the cinematography, acting, the storylines and just the reality.
“I’d like to be a part of it because they’ve been a part of my culture.”
As bizarre as it all sounds, this surprisingly isn’t the first time the rapper – whose real name is Calvin Broadus Jr – has publicly revealed he’s a fan of the soap, and even famously admitted all the way back in 2010 that he had his agent get in touch with ITV to see if there was any chance he could make an appearance.
“I had my agent reach out to them to see if they could try to get me on and they said they were interested so hopefully it might happen,” Snoop told the BBC.
“It would be perfect for me to be on the show.”

The Drop It Like It’s Hot and The Next Episode rapper isn’t the only famous name who’s revealed himself to be a fan of Coronation Street in recent months.
One of the greatest and most well-respected singer songwriters of all time, Bob Dylan, also admitted in an interview with WSJ back in December 2022 that he loves binge-watching the soap.
Dylan explained that that he’s “no fan of packaged programs or news shows”, and that the ITV soap makes him “feel at home” despite being “old-fashioned”.
