Was I hallucinating yesterday when I saw 3 giant pandas doing sit-up on my green?

There I was walking home from the shop, turned to cut across my local green and I'm met by the sight of three giant pandas doing sit-ups!
Now, having experience of hallucinations, I thought it was some kind of flashback or something. Closed my eyes, shook my head and they were still there!
Thank god when the Metro published this today!

So what are we supposed to do for Panda Awareness Week? Eat garbage, crap all over the place and not have sex? That's a real game changer for me.

What exactly is 'panda awareness week' supposed to be about? How to recognise a panda if it's standing next to you in the pub? What to do if a panda asks you to help him fill an artificial breeding bottle?

I was aware of pandas before too. But not aware that they did sit-ups on the tiny green at the end of my road!
And there's not a bamboo shoot in sight

I thought I saw a kangaroo the other day. Turns out it was just a greyhound taking a dump.

Maybe they want us to be aware that there's only one verb in the sentence "Eats shoots and leaves". Any other version is just libellous - especially it involves the use of a comma.

@splinter-z, that is an occasion when the camera in the smartphone almost everyone carries with them, should be used. This would have answered the query in the opening post.

They just need to give pandas that 50 Shades of Grey book, give them the horn. They're just not mad for sex are they?

This is the one occasion when I didn't have my phone, iPod or digital SLR (which I almost always have on me). Sad but true!

Can I just point out that the fact there were people dressed up as Pandas wandering about doesn't mean that the pandas you saw were not a hallucination.

Without direct evidence that their day included sit ups near you it could have just been a huge coincidence that you imagined pandas on the same day that elsewhere panda-people were catching tube trains.
