Memorial planned for roadside hen

Postby A J Irving » Aug 14th, '09, 12:40



Which is worse: the fact that people are placing a cross where a hen died or the fact that the BBC bothered to report it?

Quality quotes:
Michael Graham, 24, of Workington said: "When we first saw her at the side of the road we thought it was a bit odd.

"But as the days went on it became a bit of a ritual to toot your horn as she went by.

"It gave us another reason to get up in the morning.

A movement for Road Kill Rights?

Here in the States such a fresh kill would be called DINNER :lol:

That has genuinely made me feel so much better about my day.

If tooting your horn at a dead chicken is a reason to get up in the morning then you need to seriously rethink your life.
