Jobsworth warns caterpillar about smoking inside a shop
A FLORIST felt she had plunged into a world of make believe when a health and safety officer said her wooden Alice In Wonderland caterpillar could be breaching the ban on workplace smoking.
The model sits in Debbie Schofield’s shop holding a fake hookah pipe. This led the official to suggest Debbie, 32, might be running an illegal “shisha pipe” den.
She said: “It was crazy. I thought I was at the Mad Hatter’s tea party.”
Blackburn council said the officer was “simply carrying out his duties”.
Curiouser and curiouser.
