Llama
I was walking down Ware high street this afternoon, when I saw a Llama being taken for a walk from up where the market is past the Bridge House and towards the station.
I just wondered where it lives and if it's going to be a regular feature, it's slightly more exotic than the swans.

Perhaps this is part of Wares' contrbution to Wild Life consevation.
You can't go down the High Street these days without seeing several Zebras. Probably illegal imigrants.

I think I can help with the mystery of the LLama.
I live near to the Chestnut Vets and the Llama was on his/her way there. I walked past about 6:00 last night and thought the Lemsip I am currently consuming was playing tricks on my eyesight but I see from other postings I did indeed see a Llama. The other patients in the vets looked a little perturbed by the sheep with a long neck
I wonder if this is another recruit for the local police force

My friend also saw the Llama, it was being walked up Gallows Hill (Hertford) in a flourescent yellow jacket at about half past four. Most Strange.
It was an especial shock for her because she didn't think they were real!!

Erm ... seems somewhat funny that a llama can find its way to the vets, but Tesco are unable to find their trolleys!

Perhaps if Tesco Trolleys wore fluorescent jackets they too could be found!!!

Tesco needs to recruit Llamas to transport peoples shopping about...they find their own way home and you don't find ones in the river or lurking in the back streets.

I think you're onto a winner there, but perhaps we should set our sights higher?
Phase 1
How about getting Tesco to adopt the Llama transport scheme on a national level. They could use hessian saddlebags and go with the whole organic trend. They could even start selling the Llama manure and could have little bins (next to the ones recycling carrier bags)to collect unwanted food to feed to the LLama flock.
Phase 2
If we could get Sainsburys to take over the scheme, we would have less metal trolleys being produced and more wildlife so we would be more ecologically friendly.
Phase 3
If Safeways take to the Llama scheme, and Walmart buy Safeways, then we could get the whole ordeal going in the States. It's basically where the trolley meets home delivery anyway, if they train the Llamas to find addresses on their own and they find their way back to base camp in their flourescent jackets.
Phase 4
America won over, Llamas carry on to take over the WORLD!!!

Love he idea of Llama trolleys. Just one thought - does anyone know if Llamas have a tendency to go lame in one leg and thus only push in one direction like most Tesco trolleys or are they made of stronger stuff than that?

The Llama is dead, it was run over by a car on Friday just after it was seen in the town.
It's a very sad thing to happen and I hope it has gone to a better place.
