Weirdest thing you've ever seen at the side of the road?

[Ollie_M]

I've just driven north on a site recce for another Sunday Service. (Sorry no more clues I'm afraid ) 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?

Bathtub in (on?) hard shoulder of M4.

A G Whizz.

When cycling to work this morning I saw an abandoned pram.
Looked like a decent one too (never had any experience with prams so I could be wrong).

Chinese people walking on the hard shoulder with no car in sight. Then there's the usual bag of poo and a porno mag featuring "curvy" birds, left by truckers.

Weirdest thing...

A631 Shepcote Lane, Tinsley, Sheffield whilst driving to a 5 a side match a few years ago I noticed a guy in a old style black leather biker jacket, no trousers (not even round his ankles), and white briefs leant up against some railings.

Even stranger considering this is an industrial area, no bars or houses around

A car, inside a triangle of armco, must've gone all 'james bond' and mounted the armco to get over the top, but he wasn't driving out of there in a hurry. This was ~5am on a sleepy sunday morning.

A wallaby hopping along. This is in the UK .

An arm.

Mind you, we'd been looking for it for at least an hour so it wasn't a surprise when we did find it.

Watch was still ticking too.

I once saw someone with a caravan pulling in to let the queue that had built up behind them pass

[SHutchinson]

I once followed a van through Mansfield that had two emus in the back having a massive scrap. It was quite distracting.

Bullst.

I was once traveling quickly through Wales late at night on the way home to Aberdeen from southern Ireland.

On a pitch black section of dual carriageway I spotted two naked blokes walking up the hard shoulder.

A number of years ago when i was at uni in south wales. Driving home for the weekend towards the a470, come on a roundabout to join it, and on a layby/verge on the side of the roundabout was an old blue volvo estate, with a naked guy perched atop it, doing push-ups.

When I was a kid, my mum used to take my brother and I on cheap holidays down to devon/cornwall. On one such trip we got lost, ended up driving down a farm track in the middle of bumfk no where. we come to an open yard, only to find two police vans,a pursuit car and a hastily abandoned ford sierra, this was rounded off by 2 guys in the dirt with armed response pointing guns at them.

My mum is quite a reserved person..never have i heard so many swear words in one short time, and a quite exciting U turn followed.

Needless to say, brother and I thought the whole thing was amazing at the time.

I saw some chap walking down the road in West London SBN, in broad daylight.

The road really is as busy as it seems which is what made it weird:

I would have followed that until the inevitable death

Used to be an old CRT TV on the central reservation of the A5 near Milton Keynes. Good effort I thought.

I once drove home very late at night and there was a guy in a grubby high vis stood slap bang in the middle of a country lane. Staring in one direction, completely motionless. I stopped and asked him if he was okay with no reaction from him at all.. creeped me out.

There are a couple of packs of wallabies in the wild in the UK.
