Another lawn bowling mishap: Man freed after 100 hours trapped in a lavatory.
A retired Scottish school teacher was recovering on Monday after spending nearly four days trapped inside a men's toilet with no food or mobile phone.
David Leggat was locked inside the bathroom at a lawn bowling club near the Scottish city of Aberdeen after the door jammed and the handle on the outside fell off. The 55-year-old kept warm by dipping his feet in hot water but only managed to get about three hours' sleep a night in the freezing temperatures, the local Evening Express newspaper reported.
He managed to retain his sense of humor, and proves that he is, in fact, Scottish:
"At least there was a toilet to use," he said. "The only thing I regret is not getting trapped behind the bar."
