Quote from: JBR on Yesterday at 03:13:22 PMOurs don't. 
- No fur anywhere (unless they have had a little fight).
- Never shredded our curtains (curtains don't seem of any interest to them).
- Only once have I seen a mouse which one of them had brought in, but it disappeared somewhere and I haven't been able to locate it since (and it's probably dead by now, but no noticeable smells).
- They don't poo in Marge's flower beds, but prefer a patch of bare earth and always cover up their poo in the traditional manner.
- They don't scratch our leather sofa, probably because we don't possess a leather sofa.
- They do eat smelly food, but it has quickly gone long before it becomes smelly.
- They are not aloof, but like to come and sit with us for a stroke, if they're bored.
- They are not snotty... well, perhaps a bit, if they come and kiss us.
- I have never had an aardvark, so I don't know.
Well there you go...you have never had an ardvaark.

As I said earlier there's none in Lidl and I did check Tesco with no luck. The local ASDA is too small but Morrisons may have some. Will check next time I'm near.

If all the Turkeys get the bird flu again this year  (and it has already started),  we might all have to have some Aardvark!

The title reminded me of 'Save The Whale' by John Shuttleworth.  He's a comedian of sorts, a parody of a Northern entertainer.   I think Vlad has a similar take on life 🤣

:smiley: :smiley: Thank you GM, having a sense of the ridiculous has always been my escape route, I was educated in the school of the Goon Show.  :yahoo:

Have you heard any of john Shuttleworth songs? He writes about the mundane. Titles include Two Margarines; I Can't go Back to Savoury Now; How's Your Nan? and other such rubbish 😁😁
