Toy tiger sparks armed police alert in Southampton

[super jumbe]

Police are today trying to trace the owner of a toy life-size tiger which sparked a major operation involving armed officers and a force helicopter.
''The tiger then rolled over in the down draft and it was at that point it became obvious it was a stuffed life-size toy.
''This incident will definitely be the highlight of our day. The CCTV footage convinced us all we were dealing with a real tiger.
''It's not often an incident leaves our staff with a smile on their face and it just goes to show the diverse type of incident we are called to deal with.''
Releasing a photo of the toy tiger, a force spokeswoman said: ''The toy tiger is life-size and is like one that you would win at a fair.
''It is being treated as lost property but we don't know how it came to be in the field and whether it may have been a hoax.''

Sodium chloride (a.k.a common salt) is available in all good supermarkets & corner shops.

Sodium chlorate was banned in 2010 by the EU. Amazing stuff too. Even a small amount dissolved in water would kill everything for at least 6 months...and it's an oxidant. Spray it on, wait for it to dry, toss in a lit match... Whump... no garden.

I used to pack it into small cardboard tubes & throw them into bonfires. Instantly turns night into day.

To be fair, if your walking down the road and you notice what looks like a tiger....

Do you:
A: wait for it to move.
B: trip up your wife and run like ~~~~ whilst it savages her, giving you time to get as far as possible.
