Driving along the other morning i was suddenly hit square in the face by a big smell. It appeared to be an egg like smell. For one moment i wondered if the burger van about 100yds down the road had exploded, and expected to see burgers shooting up into the air, as well as chips,eggs, and sausages. I was a feeling a little hungry, so this would have been a win,win situation.
Half a mile down the road, it soon became apparent as to the cause of the foul odour. A lorry carrying eggs was on fire. How a lorry comes to actually be on fire is a very interesting question, had the eggs in the back been rubbing together so furiously that they had "made fire" ? How else would it happen? I was so tempted to ask the driver whether the eggs were going to turn out poached or fried.
Luckily the fire brigade arrived just then so all was well. Apart from the hundreds of thousands of wasted eggs, obviously!
