Dangerous birds and strange driving habits

Only in Devon could you cycle along a country lane and come across a sign saying "Beware of ducks and poultry". It's true that the common mallard has become a new kind of guard pet, easily able to fend off most foxes and a number of small children, not to mention the numerous vicious attacks on the public by rabid chickens. Thinking of beefing up the home security? Pop down to your local duck farm and pick up a couple.

On my travels, having just frightened an innocent looking horse, I was passed by a ford fiesta. Nothing unusual about that.
However, hanging out of all three passenger windows were a young girl and two older boys. The woman driving acted as if nothing was out of the ordinary, as they sped off up the hill at 40 miles an hour.

Only in Devon...

  1. Chickens are dangerous too.
    I was attacked and chased only the other day.
