Talking Another Fare Dodger - A cute one this time!

He even gets fed as well as free rides!!



A pet cat named Dodger is living up to his name, by taking free bus trips from his home town.


The ginger moggy, who was named after the Artful Dodger from Oliver Twist, has taken to hopping on and off the public transport at the bus station near his home.


The 15-year-old cat even sits on bemused passengers’ laps as the bus makes up to 10-mile round trips from Bridport to Charmouth in Dorset.


Dodger is such a regular customer that some of the drivers take tins of cat food to work with them to give to him. They even know what stop to let him off at. At the end of each journey the roving moggy returns to his home and owner Fee Jeanes.

Serious Debates & News Stories - it was actually in the correct section but if moving from one section to another makes you feel any better, I'm happy either way.

I think it's a great wee news story. Especially with all the horrible articles of all sorts of cruelty to animals / babies etc.

Whilst the two forums have been merged, this is still primarily, for serious discussions. For example, news about the riots, murders etc, etc.

Not for news such as 'a kangaroo is caught making crop circles' and things like that.

Whilst those are technically still news stories of they are in the papers or on tv, they arent really the kind of thing we need in this forum, and they belong in general chat

Celebrity news belongs in the celebrity news section also, which can be found here

Why were they merged? Seems a bit pointless imo.

I can see why they were merged, often a serious news story will have potential for a serious debate as well, the trouble is you just get stories like this where it then becomes a grey area :S
