Ships in the Bristol Channel were put on alert yesterday for a 10ft glass-fibre gorilla, which . . . vandals threw into the sea.
Coastguards warned that it was so big that it could sink a boat if it hit below the waterline.

Vessels should be alert and keep a sharp lookout for a hazardous gorilla." - Daily Telegraph (Paul Kelly)
