Man horrified by contents of 162-day old lunch box from before lockdown
"The smell was one of the worst things I have ever smelt"
www.lincolnshirelive.co.uk
There's a fairly blatant English mistake in the article, for fans of that sort of thing.
What I want to know is how it made the news. Did the lunchbox owner think, 'I've got a scoop for the local paper,' and get in touch with their news desk? Or did the writer of the article have a friend who mentioned this in the course of a conversation, and thought that it would fill up the website on a really slow news day?
