Amusing doorbell footage shows workmen winning tug of war - with manhole
A mum was given a laugh after checking her Ring doorbell - to find a group of workmen winning a tug of war with a drain.
Laura Staunton, 40, had a notification that there was movement outside her home in Milton Keynes, Bucks.
So she clicked on her the app - in time to see five high-vis men falling over as a rope gave way.
Laura, a mum-of-three, says the incident made her "burst out laughing" at work.
The logistics worker said: "I was busy at work so ignored the notifications at first but it wouldn't stop chiming so I took a look.
"I burst out laughing and showed my boss.
"I burst out laughing again later when I got home and saw the second guy nearly fall in the bush.
"All of them were laughing about it and no-one was hurt.
"They had put the gravel back in place so without the doorbell footage I would have had no idea anyone had been there.
"I wish I had spoken to them through the Ring.
"They drove past later and still seemed to be laughing."
The video was shot in November 2023.
