I'll grant the Sky News team one thing, they know a good headline when they type it :lol:

I once got a pigeon wedged in my grille on my way into work.
Picked it up leaving Maidenhead, doing 40mph or so, drove all the way to somewhere in east London down the M40 at ~70mph. A total trip of about 35 miles. The pigeon was certainly alive and kicking at lunchtime.
Where's my headline, dammit?!

Wasn't a comedy animal, was it though? ;)

Is a stoat funnier than a wood pigeon?
Meh. Perhaps.
It looked quite amusing, it had got caught from behind, so it was facing out of my grille with it's wings spread slightly, looking very bemused.
