Mystery over pink bra deliveries

Pink bra
No-one knows why the pink bras were delivered

About a dozen householders in a village in Cumbria received an extra present on Christmas Day - pink bras, which were posted through their letter boxes.

Dougie Hill, of the Hope and Anchor pub in Port Carlisle, said the lingerie had "completely surprised" villagers.

He has now put the bra he received in pride of place on his bar in the hope someone will come and claim it.

"It would have been nice if it had come with a lady attached to it obviously, but that didn't happen," Mr Hill said.

"It's not in the wife's size so I couldn't even give it to her as a Christmas present.

"I'm stuck with it - so if there is an owner out there they are more than welcome to come and collect."
