Not looking well

Up for auction, this rather dyspeptic looking stuffed stoat. In the catalogue: “20th century taxidermy specimen stoat on a naturalistic display with name plaque ‘Rigger Mortis’. 29cm in length.”

On the back is inscribed “Mounted By Barry Williams fleur-de-lys cottage Cannock” (the robot is brilliant at interpreting handwritten notes). I was able to walk past it on Street View. At least, there’s a Fleur de Lis B&B in Crannock.

All without ever leaving my garden. Funny old internet.

Crannock? Nope. Clean them glasses, lady!

OTOH, Cannock is described as looking up, demographically speaking!

The proportion who described themselves as White British was 95.6%, with all white ethnic groups making up 97.4% of the population.

Beware: more than one link in a comment is apt to earn you a trip to the spam filter, where you will remain -- cold, frightened and alone -- until I remember to clean the trap. But, hey, without Akismet, we'd be up to our asses in...well, ass porn, mostly.
