Dormouse stew ("10 things we didn't know last week"). Have you seen a dormouse? Not much meat on them, is there? You are confusing the native British dormouse with something called the glis-glis. My home area (the Vale of Aylesbury) has these things running around - they escaped from Tring Park, where they were introduced by the Rothschilds. Pesky things, too, glis-glis. I seem to recall that they had a liking for the insulation on power-lines. This resulted in blacked-out villages and a flash-fried, rather than stewed, glis-glis. Which is also known as the fat, or edible, dormouse. Thought I'd try to clear that one up before the real British dormouse ends up in the soup.

Pedant Alert re Monday's random stat. No, there were not 13% more French people watching the rugby than English. For a start, the two countries have different populations. What you actually mean is that the proportion was 13 percentage points higher.

We just received a letter Friday from a UK Government Dept which was mailed in Sweden! So I guess if you live abroad you still get mail.
