Unbelievably, a tornado circled a small pub garden in Suffolk on Saturday night. Believably, the patrons in the pub garden decided to finish their pints rather than panic because: Britain.

Reinhard Olbrich took this great photo of the rare phenomenon at The Dolphin Inn pub garden. It looks like something out of a movie but it was actually in the village of Thorpeness at around 8:30pm.

Some people are saying that it's actually a waterspout rather than a tornado, but still. Quite the sight when you're attempting to enjoy a pint on a warm evening.

Someone else managed to get a picture of the 'tornado' off the coast of Thorpeness. Clearly, it'd got bored of the pub beer garden.

Amy Youngs, manager of The Kitchen @ Thorpeness, told The Mirror: "It was muggy and stormy yesterday and we had all sorts of weather, but we've never seen a tornado over Suffolk before. We were stunned."

You and me both, Amy.
