So it was Friday the 13th this Friday past, and guess what?

“At precisely 13:13, a boy aged 13 was seen by the St John Ambulance team at Lowestoft Seafront Air Festival in Suffolk after he was struck by lightning, a spokesman said.

The boy suffered a minor burn and was taken to James Paget Hospital, where he is expected to make a full recovery.”

What are the odds?!

Only in the UK can these things happen. As barmy as they are (or in this case, as barmy as the things that happen to them are), you gotta love the Brits, I always say!
