In early Victorian Britain most street lamps were not powered by gas, they were fuelled by the ghosts of nuns.

In this time of austerity & ever rising costs for heating & lighting, the government has issued helpful advice for citizens struggling to cope with low wages, debts & cuts to winter fuel allowances for the elderly & benefits for the disabled.

Use your own free natural resources.

Many people have elevator-phobia due to fear of:

Small spaces/Claustrophobia

Being trapped/Cleithrophobia

Heights/Acrophobia
or

Falling/Basophobia

But these are just irrational symptoms of a subconscious realisation that lifts are predatory portals to soul-eating netherhells

For hundreds of years one of the most beloved of professions was that of the Honied Rat Peddler.
For a penny anyone could buy a fresh rat smeared in honey as a tasty treat.
For tuppence toffs could buy a toffied rat, pre-killed at no extra cost.
Rat-on-a-stick was ha’penny extra.

In 1816 Dublin’s “Ha'penny Bridge” was plagued by irate leprechauns who had been disturbed during its construction.

To catch the Wee Folk, nets were erected along the bridge, baited with stout & whisky.

This merely encouraged every Fairy in the county to come & join the party.

Liverpool 1967

In Penny Dreadful Lane there was a barber who took photographs of every head he'd had the pleasure to have known.

1978

Olde Scotland Yard discovered that the so-called “hairdresser” was a Xyzoid bodysnatcher who was replacing his customers with alien changlings.

In 1898 Aeneus Clench attempted to be the 1st person to circumnavigate the globe by riding a Penny-Farthing backwards.
Despite a sterling effort he did not achieve his goal as the feat was completed 9 days earlier by Fanny Chaffing, who chose a route which avoided going up steps.

By 1958 firework displays at parties had been largely replaced by the fashion for exploding indoor atomic bombs, to delight children & adults alike.

It was not until 1974 that health & safety concerns led to sales of nuclear devices being restricted to those over the age of 18.

Although consumption of Chinese Green Tea is popular many hidden dangers go unreported, such as explosive gastrickery.
Some varieties are particularly hazardous at specific times of the year.
Undoubtedly no one can deny the dangers of drinking Gunpowder Tea on the 5th of November

Interest in developing so-called "smart houses" in which artificial intelligence is built into the architecture & infrastructure of homes has increased, despite legislation banning construction of sentient dwellings introduced in the Mock Tudor period after 'The Great Devouring".

In 1994 the Royal Jovial Ornithological Society was founded when the Gas Giant was found to have avian life after gastronomers operating a telescope mounted atop a sundial at the Jodrell Building Society’s astrognomonical observatory discovered that Jupiter is inhabited by geese.

In 1941 Arizona once again suffered spates of violent
& spine-tinglingly horrific attacks from a marauding cactoid.
A team comprised of police, FBI & forensic cryptobotanists worked to apprehend the psychoplant but despite 867 gruesome deaths the serial tekiller remains at large.

2017 saw more speculation regarding a phenomenon Ancient Egyptians called “Khem trails”.
Despite nonsensical theories concerning government conspiracies to spray citizens, it has been scientifically proven these are merely ectoplasmic gas excreted by the ghosts of crashed planes.
