Piano Climbs Ben Nevis

A piano's dreams to become the first big instrument to scale Britain's tallest moutain Ben Nevis came to a sad end today. The piano was found in 'poor health' shivering under a pile of rocks, and missing its trademark keyboard. A conservation group, who discovered the piano, "couldn't believe their eyes" when they saw it.

A cookie wrapper with an expiry date of December 1986 could have been the last thing the piano ate before being stranded for twenty years. "I won't give up," the piano said. "I'll be back next year, or the year after that... you see if I'm not..." The conservation group then broke the piano into pieces saying they couldn't be assed to push the "bloody weirdo" all the way down the moutainside.
