Whose lion is it anyway ?

[Maydup]

^^^ exactly, someone must know they're mssing a lion. Either there's more ot this story than is being reported or its a silly season hoax.

[Prudie]

very clever Fibonacci (a circus is prime suspect)

[albaqwerty]

I'm going silly season Maidup, Bank Holiday and schools haven't yet gone back.
The zoo said they're not missing anything.
(Like the tea-pot btw)

[rowanwitch]

Better if it was a leopard that would be spotted....

[Fibonacci]

[tonyav]

Groan @ rowan.

[Fibonacci]

Perhaps the story is a hoax started by a lyin' cheater !

[Maydup]

I want to see it now Fib, please try again!

[rowanwitch]

It might be a stunt by the local cubs....

[tonyav]

Groan, again.

[Anngel]

Yikes, we live a way away from St Osyth, about 40 miles, but I imagine a lion can cover some distance. Not sure if I want to take the dogs out today!!!!!

[rowanwitch]

It might have been a tiger just lion on the ground

[tonyav]

Gawd, it's getting worse now.
