    I used to see a lot of egrets from the train passing through Dawlish.

    I bet you nobody has spotted a Gambol in the wild. They are masters of camouflage and though they tend to hang out outside the homes of unsuspecting wimmin they are incredibly hard to detect.

    Don't worry. Dougie tried to kill him using a shovel but didn't have the strength so backed over him in his Range Rover. No wait, that was a badger.

    We don't get them out west, I didn't know that when I moved here but you could say I have no Egrets.
