SWAN VS. POLICE! Hot Fuzz in real life!

  • The 'Hot Fuzz' team may have only had to deal with 'just the one swan', but we were recently called out to THREE cases of swans landing on the M25!
    As this is the busiest road in the UK, the chances or survival if left alone were very slim. Luckily, Highways England were able to halt traffic just long enough for Simon and Lawrie to come to the rescue!

    Here are some basics about swans:
    Myth: They are gentle, elegant creatures often associated with fairy tales, princesses, etc.
    Reality: They are the wild cousin of the goose and can sometimes be as mean as a hissing feral cat (in their own feathery, flat-billed way).

    The swan is the definition of angery. Good work! I'm glad people have a passion for these dinosaur birds. Cheers!

    I wondered why Simon wasn't in this release, but then I figured he let the angry ones for his number 1 assistant to deal with. Y'know, for experience ;) it's so funny to see how he picked up so many of Simon's mannerisms! Lawrie's vert lucky, he is such a great role model and I wish I could work with him daily like that!
