And finally… crate escape
Reading time: 1 minute
A man who bundled himself into a wooden crate and tried to mail himself from Australia to Britain has made a public appeal to help track down his accomplices.
Back in 1965, Welsh man Brian Robson, now 75, enlisted the help of Irish friends John and Paul in a scheme to return home cheaply.
The plan went awry when the sealed crate was put on a plane to Los Angeles instead of London, where he was found by customs agents.
Mr Robson was taken home to Wales after a grilling by FBI agents, but has never reconnected with his Irish comrades, The Irish Times reports.
He has appealed for them to get in touch so he can buy them a drink.
