Man Carries Out Futile Task of Blowing Leaves During Storm Ali

Storm Ali brought strong winds and destruction to Scotland in September 2018. In Stirling, one of the affected areas, John Faichney spotted a ridiculous sight amid the gusts outside his window.A man was using a leaf-blower, seemingly in an attempt to move or tidy dead leaves from the pavement.The task seemed entirely fruitless, as leaves were caught in the wind and circled the area regardless of the man’s efforts. John couldn’t conceal his amazement at the sight, and referred to the man as a ‘muppet’. Credit: John Faichney via Storyful
