‘Drunk’ Santas Driving Tank To UK Pub Cause Chaos
A group of ‘drunk’ Santas tried to navigate a large tank through a tiny Cornish village and got stuck, blocking street access to residents and festive revelers.
Local English newspaper The Cornishmansaid the tank got stuck in a narrow street of Angarrack in Cornwall, and residents fumed at the drunken Santas for their lousy driving of a vintage armored personnel carrier.
One traffic warden can be heard telling them off and insisting they can go no further. “You cannot come in with your tank. There are cars parked there,” she told the Santa tank driver, pointing towards the centre of the village. “You are not going to get through.”
One of the Santas – not the driver – tries to argue but is visibly too drunk, while the driver then argues with the traffic warden about being allowed into the village. There has been no suggestion that the driver had been drinking.
Devon and Cornwall Police have confirmed they attended the scene. Some people who had tried to go to Angarrack to enjoy the village’s amazing Christmas lights took to social media either seeing the funny side or to complain at the chaos the Santas and their tank caused.
One woman said: “Well that was eventful. An army tank, yes an actual Army tank, driven by several inebriated Santas trying to get to the pub in Angarrack who got stuck on the way.”
Another woman said: “I have seen it all now. A tank being driven by several Santas tried to drive into Angarrack, got wedged and blocked the entrance to the village.”
The tank full of drunk Santas was also spotted earlier in the day driving around town.
By Thursday night, people on Twitter posted videos of the stuck tank blocking traffic to the village’s entrance.
One person said, “Come on Santa you can get a tank through there!”

GUNS N GEAR
Lol.
Merry Christmas to all.
I’m always astounded by the ignorance of the mainstream press when it comes to military equipment and gear. I suppose it’s because none of those leftist idiots have ever served in uniform (or even considered doing so). That’s why everything looks like a “military grade machinegun” to them — they have no clue what they’re seeing or discussing. That’s NOT a tank! From the front (which is all that’s showing in the picture), it appears to be an M113 armored personnel carrier.
I noticed something similar with the report on Germany’s armor on Zerohedge a few days back. Though I’ve never have and never can serve, the difference between a tank and APC is very obvious; one sentence calls it a tank and the next calls it an infantry fighting vehicle. Which is it?
I was expecting to see a Challenger what I saw was an infantry fighting vehicle.
APC, not a tank. But interesting, none the less.
I’m glad to live in the land of the (ahem) free; had they tried that in Amerika they most likely would have been executed on the spot
Is that rubber blocks in the treads to keep from damaging the asphalt? I know you can get similar things for tracked tractors.
