A teenager who thought movement in her underwear was caused by her vibrating mobile phone found a bat curled up asleep in her bra.
Abbie Hawkins, 19, of
"It looked cosy and comfortable and I was sorry for disturbing it," she said.
She was sitting at her desk at work when she decided to investigate the strange movements in her underwear.
"I put my hand down my bra and pulled out a cuddly little bat. Perhaps I should have left it there and given it a good home!", she said.
"It shocked me very much at the time, but it scuttled off under the desk into the dark; I was shaking from head to toe”.
"It looked quite cosy and comfortable in there so it was quite rude of me to take it out”.
"When I realised it was a bat the first thing that occurred to me was how it got in there”.
"I felt quite sorry for it. Perhaps I should have left it there and given it a good home”.
"I did not notice anything as I put my bra on. The night before I had had one or two drinks and I was getting ready quickly”.
(methinks, aside - oh c'mon now, only a 'few' drinks huh?)
"The bra was in my drawer but it had been on the washing line the day before and when I was driving to work, I felt a slight vibration but I thought it was just my mobile phone in my jacket pocket."
The bat was captured by one of her colleagues and released.
……..what a weird and wonderful world we live in these days!
