P.S. Having a whale of a time!

There's a whale in London.
Not in an aquarium (although I'm sure that there might be, if London has an aquarium), but a 'proper' one...in the Thames! There have been sightings up and down the murky waters, but the focus is concentrated on the tourist area near Tower Bridge.
Is it sightseeing?

This is the ABC's new take on it...
"A rescue effort is under way for a seven-tonne whale that has managed to find its way into the River Thames in central London.
Hundreds of Londoners flocked to the banks of the Thames to catch a rare glimpse of the five-metre long whale. Television cameras followed the whale as it swam past a series of landmarks in the British capital, including Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament.

Authorities were notified by a man who spotted the animal on his way to work.
He told them he thought he was hallucinating."

I LOVE the last line!
