    Sorry Pee - I'd rather WEAR Agent Provocateur than respond to a male one...

      So, cats are a bit like the Liberal Democrats?

        Some people are known to visit certain "establishments" to receive strokes of the cat. Perhaps this is what the PM meant?

          Just back from taking the dog on his evening constitutional, & I'm pretty sure I saw a badger running across the road. We live in an inner suburb of Glasgow, with plenty of parks & big gardens, but I'm very surprised that a badger would be seen here.

            Flosshilde, Roper's book has quite a lot of index references to urban badgers. Apparently they are become more and more prevalent, particularly in the south but now also in the north. They cause problems by damaging gardens and also all sorts of disputes between neighbours about removal of setts. During a survey in Brighton one of his students found that 29% of householders put out food for badgers, so its not surprising that they come into gardens to get it.
