Default Tree struck by lightning - the aftermath

As I pulled out of London Bridge last night I looked west to see a few CGs. Here's what one of them hit - with some remarkable evidence this morning:

Barking up the wrong tree there, Richard?

Bit of a shock that you latched on to this..thunderous error on your part. Still, you were lightning quick to pick that up as some sort of evidence.

Sorry, having an early whiskey, too early probably. Blame the footie watching. I'll stop. I feel a storm of abuse coming....
