The Badgers of Beechen Cliff - taster

I’ve mentioned the magpies and the deer – they’re ok – don’t tangle with anybody.  The mice are useless – complete waste of time.  Over on the allotment, you see a few slow worms.  Boy! Are they fast.  But don’t even waste your time on shrews.  

‘Morning, Brock.  How are you, Brock?  Blah, blah, blah-di-blah, Brock.  Look at the size of this fruit fly, Brock.’  

Fruit flies, for goodness sake.  What is there to say about fruit flies?  Constantly rabbiting on – excuse the R  word.  Who’s ever heard of a badger called Brock?  If you come across a shrew, best to eat it right away, I say, before they start all that Brock-this, Brock-that chitchat.
