Drinkers hit by sunstroke in Scottish pub

[Are_grits_groceries]

Customers and workers at an Banffshire pub had to be treated for sunstroke after a bar boss accidentally installed powerful ultraviolet lights by mistake, it emerged on Friday.

The flourescent bulbs behind the bar at the Pub in the Square in Buckie were unintentionally replaced with bulbs normally found in sunbeds.

Staff and drinkers stood under the lights for hours, with barman Morgan Smith suffering severe burns to his neck.

It was only when bar staff complained of headaches and feeling dizzy that the error came to light.

5. What an idiot that barman was! And oh, his electric bill will prove it!

However, there is an idea there--especially in the winter months! They could turn the lights on for five minutes every hour, or so, and give all those drunks a wee dose of vitamin D with their whiskey!
