Thames Duck Race

Up to 30,000 2.5 inch high, yellow, plastic, sun-glasses wearing ducks will race(?) along a "duck lane" on the River Thames on Sunday 30th July at 2.00 pm.

The race will start at Battersea Park by the Pagoda and the ducks will move westwards in the direction of Albert Bridge, where the race will end.

Adopt a duck for £10 :eek: HERE

I don't think you get to keep the duck.

Could be an interesting sight.
My first reply was witty and intellectual but I lost it so you got this one instead :D
Proud to be a chic shopper

    we had one of these in Lancaster a couple of weeks ago!
    It was great fun for all the family and has raised over £22000 for local homeless people.
