I saw Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall in the river cottage series pick up a dead Rabbit from the side of the road. He cut away the bruised flesh and ate the rest in a stew if memory serves, pretty gutsy  That was an interesting program for the foraging, catching eels in his stream using a medieval trap, he has a great radar for free food that chap... |

It is funnier than any comedy that is on telly at the moment, IMO.
I do wonder how much of it they script before hand though, but that doesn't detract from the humour of it.

Slightly off-topic but as roadkill causes more damage to cars - Wildlife crash claims up 350% | Mercury - The Voice of Tasmania - will insurers put up their rates and thus persuade people to drive more slowly and carefully? It's happened in other fields ..... |

Quite so.
The mind wanders further. Hippopotamus used to bathe in the area that is now Trafalgar Square. With climate change, might we be thinking of reintroducing such tropical species.
Qhat would be the chane of a car against a rhino, for instance?
Just musing .... Quote:

Reminds me of a story I saw on telly a while back of a hippo which decided to take a wander from the safari park it was resident at. A local farmer woke to find strange footprints in his garden ... he followed them down to the pond and much to his surprise found said hippo. Being a dairy farmer he treated the animal as he would a cow and somehow managed to get it into his court yard and shut the gate on it while he went to phone the safari park to tell them of the escapee.
Needless to say a five bar gate is no problem for a hippo (which are a bit brighter than cows) and by the time the farmer got back the hippo wasn't there and neither was the gate.
