Lorry Driver Spills Thousands Of Sprouts

In what could well go down as the most Christmas-themed road traffic accident of the year, a trailer full of Brussels sprouts has tipped over.

Thousands of the little green vegetables have spilled out all over a road in Rosyth, Fife, when the lorry driver slightly misjudged a roundabout.

The trailer overturned at about 10.45 am today (Monday), with police warning drivers about potential delays in the area while they cleaned up the mess.

The also warned that 'Christmas dinner may also be affected' - this could be a good or a bad thing, depending on your feelings towards the divisive vegetables.

Posting on Twitter, South West Fife Police said: "There's been a bit of a #BrusselSprouts accident at the roundabout at Admiralty Road, #Rosyth.

"Please avoid the area if possible. Traffic and #Christmas dinners may be affected. Apologies for any delays..."

Of course, the jokes came in thick and fast

One Twitter user replied: "Was the lorry sprout of control at the time?"

Another posted: "It's what happens when you are forced to abandon Brussels..."

Someone else tweeted: "This isn't funny - have you any idea how many Christmas dinners have been made edible by this accident."

While another big sprout fan said: "Best place for the bloody things."

And the sprout isn't the only controversial Christmas dinner addition. Last week it was revealed that over three quarters of people believe that a Yorkshire pudding should go on the festive feast.

After LADbible put out a Twitter poll on Monday (9 December), over 26,000 of you responded to let us know. The overwhelming majority said that yes, without a doubt, everyone's favourite roast accompaniment really should be included on Christmas Day.

An overwhelming 77 percent of people who answered believe that a Yorkie should go on a Christmas dinner.

Many have questioned the morality behind putting a Yorkie with any meat that's not beef, but TV chef and guru Phil Vickery once told the Telegraph: "It may go against the grain but I enjoy Yorkshire puds with any roast, so do my children.

"To me, it's an integral part of Sunday lunch or roasted meat at any time. Some nights we just have them with vegetables and gravy as a main meal.
