FORTUNE TELLING GOES GREEN
A fortune-teller has claimed she can divine people's futures by using asparagus
Jemima Packington, who likes to call herself the UK's only "asparamancer", has been testing out her technique at the British Trade and Travel Fair at Birmingham's NEC.
Ms Packington, from Worcester, throws the asparagus spears onto the floor and makes her predictions based on how they land.
She says she stumbled across her asparagus-predicting skills a few years ago by chance, after some stalks fell on the floor and she made a prediction which came true.
She told BBC News: "I can't even remember what prediction I made when I was young but my family went very quiet and it came true and the rest is history."
She has even used her gift of asparagus foresight on actor Tony Robinson, who played Baldrick in the comedy series Black Adder.
The asparagus he threw landed in the shape of a number four. Ms Packington predicted he should grab an opportunity that would present itself.
He said he felt as if a great burden had been lifted off his shoulders after his mystical encounter.
Ms Packington was at the fair to help promote the asparagus industry in Worcestershire, which is the largest producer of the vegetable in the UK.
The versitality of this vegetable eh & you thought it was just for eating:D:D
