London - A goldfish was yesterday recovering with just a few bruised scales after it was dropped down a chimney, bounced off the coals in the fireplace and landed on the hearth in front of an astonished family.
The remarkable fish emerged virtually unscathed after apparently being dropped by a bird flying over the house in Northampton.
Ms Maureen Brewin scooped up the sky-diving pet and put it in a bowl of water until officers from the RSPCA arrived.
