Apparently a whale is swimming up the Thames! What is happening to the world!

I love the spokesman's comment: "Getting that to do anything it doesn't want to do is going to be extremely difficult."

"The whale has come within yards of the banks and has crashed into an empty boat causing slight bleeding."

Apparently, whales are dumb.

If this had been a Japanese city, he'd be swarming with little chainsaw-weilding guys by now.

Funny. Can you give me an idea how far up river from the ocean we're talking here?

It must be about 30 miles+ in a straight line, more in reality cos the Thames twists a bit.

25-30 miles.....but the Thames gets very narrow....
