Floor collapses at Swedish Weight Watchers clinic

[Rapunzel]

The floor of a Weight Watchers clinic in Växjö in south central Sweden collapsed on Wednesday night beneath a group of about 20 participants in the weight-loss programme.

The Weight Watchers participants had gathered in the group’s facilities to see how much weight they had lost. As it turned out, however, people’s weight was not the only thing to fall.

“We suddenly heard a huge thud; we almost thought it was an earthquake and everything flew up in the air. The floor collapsed in one corner of the room and along the walls,” one of the participants said.

Then floor then started to give way in other parts of the room. Shortly thereafter, the smell of sewage began to waft up into the room.

When everything had calmed down, the participants instead moved the scales to a nearby corridor and set about seeing how many kilos they had shed. And this time the floor held.

No one was injured in the incident, the cause of which is still under investigation.

As an additional bit of trivia . . . did you know that Sweden has the only ski-through McDonald's in the world? :sneaky: :wah:

Really? Oh, wonderful!

"...through the McD and swerve left into WW. Straight ahead is the 120m ski jump. DON'T TAKE A WRONG TURN!" (In Swedish, so just imagine a line through all the o's)

The part that got me was 'They are looking for causes'. I mean It's obvious Isn't It? It's those Invisible mice gnawing away at the floorboards again :rolleyes::rolleyes:
