Mystery in Cornwall Farmer Baffled by Bras Tied to Rural Gates

A farmer in Cornwall is baffled. Seven bras showed up on nearby gates. Michael Irwin, age 65, saw the first one. It was a bright red bra two weeks ago. The bra was tied to a gate. It was on a road he often uses.

Michael owns a farm near Lerryn. More bras appeared later in places nearby. Michael saw a red bra on a gate and thought it was odd at first, then thought more bras meant something. Two weeks later, he saw another on a fence about 100 yards away.

More bras kept showing up on gates; one appeared on a hedge. Three bras hung on a gate last week, 200 yards from the first bra. The bras looked normal size to Michael. He thought someone would admit a joke because the bras were tied to the gates well, but nobody has claimed responsibility so far, and no one seems to know anything.

The bra count is now at seven. Michael has seen no new ones for a week. The strange mystery remains unsolved, and he does not know if more will appear. Michael says the bras are tied well and not just thrown there.

These bras are not on his farm gates, but near other farmers’ gates on a road he uses often. It has become a topic to discuss, and Michael thinks it is funny, chuckling when he drives by. Will it stay at seven bras? He doesn’t know if there will be more.

People make funny jokes about the bras and are teasing him about it. The bras are still there when he drives and he thought someone would confess by now. Locals near St Austell are confused too.

A local said it was a booby trap. Another local said they needed support while someone else made an “udder” joke and another joking about Great Tits nesting.
