It was dead, and had been dropped there by a passing bird according to Meridian TV. How on earth they knew it had been dropped by a bird..... Their story reckoned it had been released (not escaped by itself you will note) into the Thames - presumably by an owner who got fed up of being attacked by it - where it died of cold, then got picked up by this bird - etc etc! Far more likely, being released into the Thames it died of pollution.

More likely we reckoned, it was brought over by a passing migrant burd, who had bought it along with his packed lunch, and found it a bit too sharp to eat.

And Ancondas in Sherwood forest? Dunno about that, but we have Wallabies living wild in West Sussex.

That was no piranha, it was Gordon Brown out for a swim

I'll have you know that the Thames is now so clean that even salmon live there again.

My younger son often gets to swallow the odd mouthfull (Thames water that is)
