You'll probably have seen over the weekend, news of a whale in the Thames. Yes, hard to believe, even when news started coming through late on Friday. You can imagine, for us lot, sitting with a selection of real ales, that it was possible we were hearing and seeing things. But, true enough, a Northern Bottle-nosed whale, for some reason, decided to take a swim up the Thames at lunchtime on Friday. And, despite valiant attempts to rescue her, the whale died on the rescue barge early on Saturday evening.
Discussions, I see today, have started as to what will now happen to the dead whale. Fascinating, then, to see the The Maritime Coastguard Agency stating that, as the whale died on the barge and not land, it's nowt to do with them, guv.
Also, nice to see that London's traffic wardens were hard at work...
