A teenager found herself up to her
neck in trouble yesterday when she got stuck while trying to retrieve her
mobile phone from a drain.
Ella-Anne Birchenough, 16, dropped
her phone down the drain near her home in Dover, Kent.
Finding herself jammed into the
drain, emergency services had to be called but, luckily, it was a quick rescue.
The girl's mother, Joanne
Birchenough , 36, dashed to the scene and then dialled 999 and three
firefighters turned up to gently pull the red-faced schoolgirl free.
Ella, a GCSE student at Astol
College, said: 'I was talking to somebody and I went to put my phone in my
pocket and it fell down the drain.
'I thought to myself 'I'm not
leaving this' and I jumped down to get it.
'I wasn't really even stuck, I just
need somebody to help lift me out but my mum got all panicky.
'When they pulled me out I ran
straight home and jumped in the bath. I think it was just water but I wasn't
taking any chances.
