That must have been fantastic to see!

They have this wee bit in the EE newspaper (usually only buy it on a Monday but for some reason mum bought one tonight...) something about news being out of this world and I thought it was a joke at first :oops: ::lol::

if the whale didnt want to pay the congestion charge, could it go to the whale-weigh station instead?

Westy... that's brilliant!! ::lol::

I thought the news coverage was quite funny. You can tell it's a relatively slow news day when Sky News manage to fill 20 mins of continuous coverage of a whale swimming up the Thames!

What's the better the Sun will have a nice little pun for this for tomorrow's front page?

What started off as a feelgood story is now turning sad, hopefully it will be strong enough to return to the sea. :-(
