I don't see me visiting Southend in a hurry then.
Apparently it's not common but happens more frequently than we might think. Explains why I ALWAYS insist the lid is down. If something wants to come up, I want to hear it happening and can scarper - fast!!!!!!!
Did read that somewhere in Florida an alligator tried the same trick.
Did they catch it in Southend or did it slither back down again?
I was OK with things with no legs, slow worms apart, until a very close encounter in Kenya 100% scared the .... out of me. Total phobia now.
