LITTLE Jenny Lee's new play hat was no joke - for it had to be prised off by firemen.

As her mum Debbie worked upstairs, 14-month-old Jenny, of Winyates, tried on a cake tin for size - and couldn't get it off again.

The tearful toddler rushed round to neighbour Mrs Mollie Bradshaw - but she couldn't shift the tin either.

"The only thing I could do was call the fire brigade", she said.

Firemen with a bolt cutter bent the stiff rim enough to ease the tin over Jenny's nose.
