FRIDAY FUN – July 17, 2020

A boy learns a lesson the hard way, fast but no win, rogue tires, and more!

In Cornwall, England, the owner of a pub, who is also a farmer, has a shocking way of making sure people social distance—an electric fence. “Before the fence, people were not following social-distancing and were doing as they pleased, but now people take heed to the guidance around social distancing,” he told the UK’s Metro. The fence is a way of keeping people away from the bar. The owner said the fence is usually turned off, but a barman says “people don’t want to test it.” ITV reports that several people who have had “one too many” claim they have been electrocuted.

In North London, residents of an elder care facility have recreated classic album covers while on lockdown. “Bowie fan Roma Cohen is the spit of her idol on 1973 disc Aladdin Sane—complete with the glam rocker’s lightning bolt make-up,” says a caption in The Sun. A 95-year-old imitates Michael Jackson on one. If you have a Twitter account, look up the residents of Sydmar Lodge Care Home in Edgware, North London.
