The Boofon Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 This nonsense was all over the news today as well. Lying about a lionDenise Martin, 52, a warehouse operative, took the picture after seeing the suspected lion from the windows of her caravan on the site at Earls Hall Farm. Mrs Martin, from Canvey Island, was spending the Bank Holiday weekend at the site with her husband, Bob, 51, a professional driver, her brother, David Wright, 57, a lorry driver, and his wife, Sue, 58. 'I was looking out of the window and we saw smoke - it looked like there had been a bit of a bonfire. When you are in a caravan you panic about smoke,' Mrs Martin said.

'We weren't scared at all - it was excitement. You don't often see something like that in the wild. One time it sat up and looked at us and we could see its ears twitching. It knew we were there and it sat down and started cleaning itself.' Mrs Wright, a housewife and a mother of three, from Dagenham, Essex, said the group watched the lion for around half an hour before it disappeared. 'The moment I saw it, straight away I said 'That looks like a lioness,' she said. 'We then phoned the police. We phoned the police before I started to take pictures. I just thought we would take them so that we had proof of what we were seeing. 'When the farmer came he walked into the field and the lion got up and walked away into the next field.' Another witness described onlookers screaming as they came face to face with the predator. Others sitting in nearby homes told how they heard it roar as it prowled the area. Rich Baker, 39, was walking with his two boys, aged nine and 11 when the drama unfolded. He said: 'A man started running towards us yelling 'It Link to comment

Foster14 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Think a few folk got together and thought they Mustapha laugh at everyone else's expense. I believe Rich Baker was making up a lot of it, but then realised there was only safari could take it without severe reprecussions. Link to comment

The mane thing to remember is not to get carried away. Both repeats and subject to disqualification. No electric in Essex at the moment. Apparently it's a power lion issue. Link to comment
