Bomb disposal teams were called in and buildings evacuated after workmen mistook a Monty Python film prop for a hand grenade.
Water company engineers spotted the object when they lifted up a fire hydrant cover during work on a street in Shoreditch, east London.
The road was cordoned off and a nearby pub was evacuated amid fears that the "grenade" could explode.

Folks, in the UK they overreact about everything.

I read a story the other week about someone walking down a street over there who looked down and saw a single round of 22lr ammunition lying there.
They literally called a bomb disposal team to collect i of the sidewalk.
