I'm loving this person's comment:

"I don't think this is a problem: it's great. British wildlife is so boring, we have no exciting or dangerous animals, I'm all for releasing crocodiles in the Thames or herds of rhino in the Peak District; what kind of dreary country has no animals that could kill you?"

I seem to remember reading (some time ago) a group seriously pushing for the reintroduction of timber wolves and bears into the forrests of Grizedale and Kielder. That would have livened up a Sunday afternoon ramble.

PMSL... so many things I could say to that but I'm determined to be a good girl and not have every thread I contribute to sent to light relief!
