Oddest thing found/seen lying in the road?

[MossCommuter]

Found this chap pottering across the A57 on Sunday morning (3rd July).

I am guessing he's a newt but he's a very small one (about pencil thin and maybe 6 inches long).

Is it a newt or wot?

A Lizard I would've thought. I can't remember what the common UK Lizard is but it would be worth a Google

EDIT: There you go, a common lizard!

A small one, you say?
Why, it must be my newt!!

I see numerous prams for some reason. Maybe the child decides "I can walk now" and the Mum or Dad dump them???

I saw a moses basket today...

In all my 42 years I never knew such things existed!

Not so common after all then

I've only ever seen them in Cornwall, mustn't like the rain here in Salford.

Thankyou. I was rather pleased with that.

Not paranoid, well maybe just a little , just have industry knowledge - I used to develop with these cards in the security sector. I'll admit that I'd rather not have the state knowing my every move, my love of privacy and freedom - not that I'd knowingly break a law *cough*

Agreed, I don't think that it's being paranoid not wanting the state to know everywhere one has gone. Which is why if I drove I'd never buy a sun pass. It's either a bar code that people slap on their car, or it's an RFID tag that lets them pay the toll without stopping. They can also be used to track one's movements.

What business is it of the state's where I go and how long I spend there?

I had to cycle around a dead 'sting ray' type of fish a few years ago. I'm not sure if was a sting ray or some other kind of ray but it was pretty big!
