Blaze crew in ring mercy drama

The Scarborough Evening News once surprised me with a headline that read:

Man found in street

"Whatever next?" I thought.

Leaves found on tree?

Sand found on beach?

Whatever...a signet ring that I have worn since our engagement almost 34 years ago has become rather tight recently, and a sore developed on the finger.

This afternoon, I went into Scarborough fire station, and one of the men very kindly cut the ring neatly from my finger.

As I was about to leave, he said he needed my name and address.

I do trust I won't find myself featured in T'News tomorrow. Stranger things have happened in sensation-starved news rooms.
