Graham Todd had to be rescued by firemen when he became stuck in a drain while trying to recover a dropped set of keys. He had sripped down to his jeans, removed the drain cover and squeezed himself into the drain when a girlfriend of a friend accidentally dropped her keys down the drain.

He became stuck.

Friend and neighbours tried to help him out, but to no avail. The fire brigade were called who were able to hoist him out.

Anne-Marie Jones, whose keys he was searching for, said, "It was hilarious, but he is mad! When he came out all the kids in the street said that he stank but I didn't get close enough to find out."

A fire brigade spokesperson said, that while the situation was quite critical, "We would urge people to think about the consequences of placing themselves in dangerous positions to retieve items."
