How funny how things get lost in translation from the US to the UK. I've been doing some research on a chicken coop that I'm building at the moment, and an American site I was reading said "I was disappointed when I woke up one morning to find a Coon had gone into the coop and killed all my chickens".

I mean, in todays politically correct world you just can't get away with calling them that any more, you've got to treat them with the respect they deserve... they're Racoons.
