“We thought we’d have a wee laugh with The Pet Shop. Mines was the blue one, so it was a little bit drunk. We did a couple of runs in it.
“If it happens again we will do it and we’ll do it down the main road instead.”
A man was also seen casting a fishing rod into deep flood water at the junction of Links Street and Pratt Street, Kirkcaldy.
