Global warmimg?

Solent Coastguard have issued a warning to all mariners along the South Coast for an invasion of fluffy pink hippo's, red legged turkeys and dog toys all being the aftermath of several containers going adrift from the large container vessel ‘Bunga Pelangi’

Wonder how long before someone attempts salvage - enough whisky there to keep the average dive club going for at least a few weeks!!!

I suspect there may be a smaller follow-up story here:

"......and Coastguards say that all attempts at radio contact with the crew of the container ship Endeavour have been met with giggling and singing"

Yes, of course they lost four containers full of whisky m'lud
