har I used to have a jacket like that.  I was trying to photoshop my head from that era on to the jacket, but then remembered what age I was and stopped.

During my walk yesterday, I came across a bloke practising the age old task of hedge-laying, and I tried to engage him in conversation, (as you do).

He was somewhat taciturn, but I made a few complimentary remarks about his bill-hook and he thawed out nicely.

We had quite a 'Two old blokes putting the world to rights' session. Topics included fox-hunting, the badger cull, oil-stones, the callowness of today's youth, and the pro's and cons of moleskin trousers.

By far his favourite topic though, was the constraints placed upon him by "Elth and effing safety".

"For 40 odd years I've ad a little bonfire" He ranted. "Now look at the bloody thing".

"Wassamatter wiv em?" He cried, shaking his fist in the general direction of Blaby council offices.  "Are they frit someone will accidentally ave a warm?"

I went out on my bike today.

I was cycling down a country lane when I caught a glimpse of a dead duck on the opposite side of the road.

Visibility wasn't very good. I was going at a fair old clip and the rain was coming down in sheets, but something about that duck just didn't seem right.

I rode on, trying to replay the fleeting image in my minds eye. Eventually, it dawned on me. Too many legs. The duck had too many legs.

By this time, I was about half a mile past, but curiosity had the better of me and I turned back.

This is what I found.

All through the rest of my ride I couldn't stop thinking about them. How had they ended up like that? What was their story?

It's almost like some kind of macabre caption competition.

Hunter/Poacher dropped them possibly? Must admit I'd have had them home & cleaned as long as they didn't pong.

[millidonk]

Reckon they were killed, tied together at the neck and either came loose on transit or have been discarded? that or it could be a Romeo and Juliet thing? still not the most pleasant of things to see on a bike ride.

[RED-DOG]

Almost certainly a hunter's spoils, but after going to all the trouble of getting them, how could he possibly lose them both?

My theory is he was being chased by the police or perhaps a gamekeeper and had to get rid of the evidence, but if that's so, why didn't he drop them out of sight?

[Kev B]

Lovers suicide pact IMO.

Or probably dropped like said.
