Or even real women. In real life. Probably. 

Saves the cabbie hosing all the chips etc off the floor after a shift too. 

I was wondering if he was about to hand the cab back to whoever he was sharing it with. Do cabbies do that, different shifts in the same taxi? Would make sense.

Perth doesn't really do itself any favours in trying to shake off the "wee city" image. Most major cities will have at least one of these up at any given time.

No idea how the Ayrshire wild ostriches are getting along, but now we have wallabies roaming around too:

This bit is new to me though:

Quote

A colony of wallabies live on Inchconnachan, an island in Loch Lomond, after Lady Arran Colquhoun introduced them in the 1920s.

A shame for the biker involved in this unusual collision..

http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/news/7225426/Irish-road-crash-horror-as-biker-killed-after-smashing-into-a-cow.html

but reminds me of the insurance claim story of the guy who had written off his car after hitting a cow. The claim form asked:

What warning did you give the other party?

Sounded horn

What warning did the other party give you

Said "moo"

I remember seeing an accident report after a minor collision between a BT van and a private car in the car park of a telephone exchange. The car driver was a BT engineer but not local so he hadn't realised he was going the wrong way in the car park's one-way system. In answer to the question, "What if anything did you say to the other driver?" the van driver put, "What the fu--" which was crossed out and replaced with, "What do you think you're doing?" Presumably his first answer was more accurate...
