French bus driver sacked for saving frog
A French bus driver has been told to hop it by her bosses - after stopping her double decker to rescue a frog in the road.
Astonished Christina Pommerel, 46, had been working for the German bus company RBO in Regensburg for 13 years before she was sacked from her £1,300-a-month job.
"One of the bus passengers complained to the management. They told me I should have squashed the frog and not stopped. When I said I couldn't do that I was fired," said Christina.
"It was in the middle of the road so I slowed down and put on the hazard flashers. Then I climbed out and put the frog in a box so I could take it to the side of the road and let it free.
"Then I got back on the Number Five bus and carried on with the journey and pretty much forgot about the incident until the management said they'd had a complaint," she added.
