Ooops! Read the bit re: Woman saved from bear by courgette...
This really made me laugh, although I'm sure if I'd been her I would have been terrified! Reminds me of the dream I had the other night when I was fending off polar bears in my garden! The last sentence of the news report had me baffled for a moment though, and added to the comic picture in my head!
