A dad who claims he hasn’t been able to stop farting after eating a ham roll at a Christmas market five years ago has launched a £200,000 compensation case. Tyrone Prades believes he has suffered a “severe and life-changing injury” after scoffing the festive ham hock sandwich at Birmingham’s Frankfurt Christmas Market in December 2017.
The 46-year-old says he continues to suffer from serious stomach issues, including chronic flatulence, after contracting salmonella which left him bed-bound for five weeks. The Mirror reports that Mr Prades is also allegedly kept awake at night by “churning noises” coming from his belly and wants Frankfurt Christmas Market Ltd to pay damages.
However, the company denies blame and claims there was no salmonella bacteria at the ham hock stall. According to documents filed at the High Court in London, Mr Prades, of Chippenham, Wilts, went to the market with his wife and children on December 9, 2017.
