More so because of the glass that you were going to have to pick up for two or three years following, I have actually had a similar situation where the glass gets everywhere! Obviously the flak will not be forthcoming because you did the decent thing (some would say), you removed the swan from the rear seat of your car and left it on the hard shoulder, only to be devoured by a Red Kite, Fox, or maybe even the Council picked it up! Anyway, apart from all that, where's the welcome for Paul fellow members? |

I mean really, a squirrel taking a pic, what next? How about the real thing? We want to see the face of the man who killed the Queens swan, don't we members? |

It's a very old law apparently and is still enforced today. I don't know if the same is true of pheasants, but having tasted one some years ago, the following driver is welcome to it! Yuck!!!!! |

It was early morning and I was driving to the train station for work when suddenly I saw this grey thing shoot straight up in the middle of the road. At first, I thought it was some sort of pipe and slammed on my breaks to avoid hitting it. When my car came to a halt, I was starring right into the eyes of a squirrel. He looked at me for a second as if to say "I won! |
