A Londoner has spoken of how he was seconds away from catching Jester the bird of prey that has escaped London Zoo

He told The Standard: “I was just one metre from her, I nearly pounced on her.“I just thought if I got it wrong I would mess up the only chance. Also she is designed to eat meat and since I’m mostly made up of meat it might’ve hurt a bit. She has pretty huge talons.”

London Tube workers to get 8.4% pay rise, mayor agreesTransport for London is locked into a binding agreement made four years ago. An agreement is an agreement, who knew RPI would go through the roof 4 years ago. Good luck to them for having a collective bargaining agreement. What a shame, and on top of that they keep striking still. This is an unbelievable failure. Is this the same TFL that constantly needs government to bail it out cos it has no money?
