Escaped Chickens everywhere!

I think "articulated lorry" describes a vehicle where the cab/tractor bit at the front bolts on to a container at the back, thus enabling the lorry to jackknife and spill its contents all over the road, as opposed to a vehicle where the cab is an integral part of the storage space. Do you follow me?

Oh, it's like a tractor-trailor as opposed to a box truck. Thanks.

If you say so.

It took nine hours, but eventually all chickens were rounded up and all the roads opened again. Sadly, quite a number of chickens were killed in the original accident and the driver has serious back injuries.

On the plus side, my husband did not encounter any delays on the way in to work. He was lucky just to be on the edge of the jams.

a "ride" - home to the stew pot?

Sorry I wasn't here to help with the translation...but I LOVE your description of an articulated lorry (known on this side as a tractor trailer...)

and bravo to Liz for solving the puzzle! But I am left with the question...doyou often serve jam with your chicken??

I live right up the street from the freeway and did see them-until they were taken away.
