A MAN struggling with the heat has silently crept into a supermarket chiller cabinet and will remain there until next week.
Finding the current soaring temperatures unbearable, Martin Bishop decided to hide in the chilled food section of his local Co-op until the summer weather returns to its normal disappointing state.
Bishop said: “At first I thought it was a mad idea. But once I pushed a few blocks of cheddar aside there was a surprising amount of room.
“I waited until the coast was clear, then gently eased myself in and let the refreshing chill of Richmond sausages and Ginsters Peppered Steak Slices wash over me.
“This is how Edmund must have felt stepping through the wardrobe into Narnia. I doubt he’d have liked the look of the Rustlers burgers either.
“Now the sweltering weather is just a distant memory, along with any feeling in my fingers and toes. I just hope nobody spots me peeping out from behind the tubs of Lurpak. It would be awful to see this hidden gem overrun with tourists.”
Supermarket worker Nikki Hollis said: “It’s cute that Martin thinks he’s the first one to do this. I’m in there all the time when you’re waiting for a staff member to come and sort out the stupid self-service till.”
