Didn't catch up with Pagwatch's mystery car until it was all done and dusted. This time I'm pulling up my chair.

I vote for domestic - DH has invited people for lunch and forgot to mention they were veggies until the roast was cooked. Doesn't explain the missing half though

Maybe it was still attached to the cow which she is now chasing round the garden

Was it just thrown from the road? Or from someone else's garden? Who walks down the road carrying half a joint of roast beef?

I might clean it up and cook it a bit more, then trim and eat it - always supposing that I got to it before the dog did - if she got there first it would vanish in about three bites.

JackBauer, loved this, 'Seriously though, who cooks a roast in spring at 7am?'

Yeah cos the rest of the year - summer for example we're all up at the crack of dawn roasting meat

PMSL, I used to have a neighbour that threw whole raw cabbages(and other random food stuff) out of her window into her garden, but never into my garden! I thought she was just a lazy composter - maybe dilemma's neighbours are the same and just a bad aim
I need to know!!!!

Marking my place.

Dilemma, come back and update us!

I'd probably clean it, cook it and eat it too, assuming it hadn't landed in anything nasty (dog poo etc).

OP have you ever read Nicholas Nickleby? Nicholas' mum is a widow and the man next door throws vegetables over the garden fence as a means of winning her heart.

I would in winter though so [sticks out tongue]

Your neighbours are trying to spell out that they have a bit of a beef with you?

Do you live next to Wile E Coyote? Has he been dynamiting cows? If Wile E Coyote blew up a cow there would almost certainly be a brief shower of beautifully cooked sides of beef, burgers and hotdogs.

I can think of no other logical explanation.

Do you think it could be a travelling carvery or summat then?

Dilemma I may need you to make an elaborate story up about some people turning up on your doorstep to ask for their beef back...
