"According to Derek Gow, beaver expert...". Fantastic, I wish my job title was that good.

On another note, do you think he is an expert solely on German beaver? I would like to think myself something of an expert on the English tufted beaver, with an occasional glimpse of the lesser spotted Brazilian smooth beaver.

Paris because she has also been associated with other beaver related news.

Any alliteration allowed?

I know badger baiting, and bear baiting are illegal, but what about bucktoothed boche bi-mated beaver baiting? (By the way, was it from Bavaria too?)

I need not bother with the Paris allusions...

"It seems that once upon a time there was beaver as far as the eye could see here in old Blighty, but they were eaten into extinction by our hungry ancestors."

Our ancestors had different habits, beavers in Briton were driven to extinction by being skinned used to keep one warm. Whereas over in Canada we stil have many wild beaver and given the chance use them to keep us warm, Although many Brits have protests over this, I too would protest if I lived in a country with only few beaver and those keep in zoos where you are only allowed to look but not touch.

a recession is coming ...
