THE Beluga whale spotted in the Thames has changed course after finding out the price of a London pint.
The majestic creature, which had planned to check out Madame Tussaud’s and perhaps the Tate Modern, has drawn the line at paying more than seven quid for a drink.
It said: “Bloody hell, almost eight pounds for a pint? I don’t care if it is craft beer. How good can beer be?
“And crisps are nearly two quid.”
The disappointed mammal said that the excursion had also been marred by the appearance of a persistent seagull that only wanted to discuss Brexit.
The whale added: “I had to shoot a load of water out of my blowhole just to get him to shut up.”
The creature is now heading back to open water, where the daily battle for survival is still more relaxing than time in the UK capital.
