"A huge shipping container holding around 11 million cigarettes has washed up on a beach – just one mile from Beer.
The vessel – bearing 14 tonnes of tobacco – is one of a reported 517 lost from a cargo ship in the Bay of Biscay last week.
It washed just a mile from Beer – the Devon village which shares its name with the drink often enjoyed with a cigarette.
One beachgoer told the Western Daily Press: “Beer always
makes it hard to resist a fag, but it’s even harder when 11 million wash
up on your doorstep.”
