That was going to be my next post. When were bears last seen in England? |

I fear you overestimate the pulling power of my pointless cyberdrivel. |

What makes you think I voted at all?
I'm certainly in favour of a cull of monkeys, especially chimps. |

I've seen red squirrels in Co. Durham, the lakes and on Brownsea Island in Dorset. |

Lived in Formby for about 20 years, frequently saw red squirrels in the back garden. I always used to describe Formby's whereabouts as "near Liverpool" - doesn't half get the locals upset 
Formby is far too posh for rough animals like the Brown Bear |

I last saw a red near Buttermere about 18 years ago. There were several in our local park when I was young though, including an albino (Kent). Wish we had some here but there are too many foul greys. |
