PLOUARZEL - For more than 30 years bright orange “Garfield” phones have been washing up on the French coast to the bemusement of local beach cleaners, who have finally cracked the mystery behind them.
“Our association has existed for 18 years and in that time we have found pieces of Garfield telephones almost every time we clean,” said Claire Simonin, the head of local beach cleaning group Ar Viltansou in Brittany. “He told us where it was... it was very, very dangerous,” Simonin told AFP after an expedition to track it down.
