Around 100 plastic ducks have caused traffic hold-ups on a main road in Monmouthshire.

 

Phil Hughes, manager of the trust's Fourteen Locks centre near Newport, said:

"We were transporting the ducks to our annual race in Llangynidr when one of the bags split open and about 100 ducks tried to make their escape."

 

"The police were very good to us - we thought we'd be up before the beak!"    :laugh:

On a side note, it just happens to have been in Wales.  :24:

If the reference to the beak is what I think it is, he has been long since deceased.

Lawyer promises to represent the 100 ducks, crying, "reckless abandonment, and abuses over having to float in tubes of water they are calling water boarding."
