A Good excuse for being late for work

In a good friends blog today I read that she was late for work because of needing to repair a flat tire. Well in the annuals of history, that has to go down as pretty lame excuse. If you really want a good excuse you could ave used one like this one . Folks in Newcastle had to stop, causing a traffic jam because of a family of swans had to cross the road.

A link to the full story, and my thanks to the BBC for the image.
