I've just driven north on a site recce for another Sunday Service. (Sorry no more clues I'm afraid smile ) and whilst driving up the M1, in the central reservation out of the corner of my eye I spotted a shopping trolley.
Now pheasants and the occasional workman's boot I'm accustomed to but a shopping trolley??!

So I thought I would put this to the community: What is the weirdest thing you've ever seen at the side of the road?

Oh, actually ... how could I forget this one?

A cat with a tin can on its head sitting in the middle of the autobahn on the way to a the 'ring (2 lanes - could have been France actually). Two azure blue Lotus Elises drifted by either side of it with puzzled looks on the drivers' faces (me and Johnny Heyward) and we finally pulled up the convoy further down the motorway. I ran back and headed into the motorway while a trucker pulled across the middle of the two lanes and slowed traffic just enough for me to run out and grab the cat which then mauled me unmercifully as I sprinted back to the side of the motorway. It had been sitting stock still by instinct as traffic weaved around it, but the second it felt my hand on the scruff of its neck it turned into a spiteful frenzied ball of teeth and claws. So I chucked it down the embankment. I then had to go and join it for round two, and mercifully the can came away quite easily after his enforced freestyle down the hill into the nettles. He blinked at me, hissed and pelted away. People at work gave me puzzled looks wen they saw the state of my hands Tuesday morning. "There was this cat you see..."
