Airport hotel receptionist finds bat in bra
09.07.08
A Norwich Airport hotel receptionist got a shock when she felt a vibration in her underwear and found that a bat was hiding in her bra. Abbie Hawkins told the Eastern Daily Press that she had felt something moving inside her clothes, but assumed it was her mobile phone vibrating. Hours later, she decided to investigate and discovered a furry stowaway had been keeping her company since she got dressed that morning.
The 19-year-old told the newspaper: ‘Once I realised it was a bat I was shocked. Then I felt quite sorry for it really. It looked very snug in there and I thought how mean I was for disturbing it.'
'I didn't notice anything as I put my bra on. The night before I had had one or two drinks and I was getting dressed quickly. The bra was in my drawer but it had been on the washing line the day before.'
'When I was driving to work I felt a slight vibration but I thought it was just my mobile in my jacket pocket. It was quite a busy morning and I didn't think it was anything other than my phone.’
Around noon during her shift at a Holiday Inn near Norwich Airport, she said that she ‘plucked up the courage to investigate. I just lost my breath when I saw it and I didn't know what it was at first.'
The bat took flight when her colleagues crowded round to have a look at it and flew off into a dark corner of the office before being captured and released outside. Abbie told the newspaper: ‘I will certainly be checking my bras each morning from now on!'
