Moment father doing the recycling goes really green - after falling headfirst into his hedge
This is the hilarious moment a father lost his balance and fell headfirst into his garden bush.
Mark Savery, 65, was enjoying his evening when he stepped outside on July 26 to chuck something in the recycling.
He was about to take the step up back home when he lost his footing and slipped on the wet grass.
The 65-year-old could not gather his strength and ended up falling headfirst into the front garden bushes.
In the doorbell footage captured out of his front door, Mr Savery, from Reading, Berkshire, is almost completely swallowed up by the hedge and with his feet up in the air.
After returning home, he told his wife, Janine, what had happened and after watching the footage, the couple were in tears.
She told the Reading Chronicle: 'We were literally crying laughing watching it. 'I've shown it to loads of people and everyone finds it hysterical.
'It feels like it should be in "You've Been Framed"!'
Fortunately for the father, he escaped with no injury, whereas the bush was left with a noticeable dent in the hedge, which he will soon have to clip to even out.
