But I used to drive over the Chilterns to work a few years back, to Stokenchurch, and in winter we had an office sweepstake on how many BMW 3-series you could count stuffed up the M40 banking when it snowed!
As an aside, that coincided with the reintroduction of Red Kites at a sanctuary very near, I recall the first time one flew right by my first-floor office window looking for dead rabbits in the office grounds.
It was literally only about 6' away through the glass and my response was "F*** me where did that Eagle come from!"
Now they're as common as muck where I live and bloody noisy! If I look out of the window I'd expect to see at least half a dozen any time of day.
