Worm Charming

A worm charming event takes place in the Lincolnshire village of Glentham today. Organiser Mr Mike Beavis says it should be fun for all ages, but especially for those 80s New Romantics as, instead of the traditional technique of knocking wooden stakes into the ground to lure worms to the surface, Mike already has hundreds of the legless snake creatures in a big bucket and wants participants to  decorate the animals in the style of 80s pop star Adam Ant's "Prince Charming" alter-ego. The person judged to have made the best worm (including a white stripe across it's nose - if worms have one) will win the star prize - a collection of dead ants dressed as Duran Duran.
