Pet Lobster
A pet lobster has his own fan club at his local pub in Wiltshire England.
Eddie the crustacean was bough by Nick Allford, of Southwick, as a Christmas present for himself. Nick told the BBC: “When I mentioned in the pub that I was getting a lobster, they said I must be drunk or insane, but when I introduced him, they were intrigued. He’s developed a fan club.” Mr Allford now plans to buy a female so they can breed. He says fans will be able to check Eddie’s progress via a web site. It also appears that Eddie has developed a winning streak. Eddie added: “I bought him £20 of raffle tickets in the local pub draw and he won seven prizes - biscuits, Turkish delights, diaries, beer and a lemon.”
