If you are one of our customers in central London, keep your eyes peeled for prehistoric, giant, winged predators that could snatch your head off as you walk to work.
Warnings have been issued that five of them will appear overnight June 20/21 around the South Bank Centre. Alas, we have no cleaning fluid spray strong enough for you to use to defend yourself against them. But you might be able to make baby models to dangle from your window, so they leave you alone. Our delta wing wooden coat hangers, covered with paper, could simulate their nine-metre wingspan.
They used to be around with the dinosaurs a couple of hundred million years ago. This troupe has been booked as part of the350th birthday celebrations of the world’s oldest scientific association, the Royal Society, for its Festival of Science + Arts from 25 June to 4 July.
They are pterosaurs which brings us back to Private Eye’s “Dumb Britain” column, where the quiz contestant’s response to that T-Rex question was: “No, it's a dinosore”!
