Animal Antics

In case you missed them, there have been a couple of funny incidents in the British newspapers recently, both involving animals.

Staff at Wrexham General train station were shocked when a man turned up and demanded to buy a ticket – for his pony. He was refused and told that no horses were allowed on the train. Apparently, the man replied "I know the law!" and walked away. He then got into a lift with the horse and walked it across the bridge and onto a platform. When the train arrived, the man attempted to board it with his four-legged friend, but was stopped by a concerned conductor. The man is believed to have left the station – with the pony in tow – after a brief argument.

All aboard The Pony Express?

 

Police scrambled helicopters and ordered tranquilizers to hunt what they feared was an escaped wild animal, after several residents called in to say they'd seen a white tiger in a field near a golf course in Hedge End, close to the coastal city of Southampton. It soon became obvious, however, that the tiger was in fact a stuffed, life-sized toy.

Eye of The...er...Stuffed Tiger

Happy Monday everyone!
