A foolish woman was blasted by a firefighter after trying to walk under scaffolding that had been blown over by Storm Bert.

The lady – carrying her shopping bag – wandered down the pavement and under two emergency service cordon tapes.

The entire road had been closed off after scaffolding was left hanging over the street.

Nick Hurst added: “After walking through all the tapes he should’ve just let her carry on and find out what would happen.

“Survival of the fittest.”

Another – named Russ – said: “The fact she walked under three separate tapes shows how thick she is.”

Joe joked: “Who’s mum is this?

“Get her some help.”

Tom added: “I’m sorry but how can you actually be this stupid?”
