I couldn't give a duck about that to be honest.

So many things in that story I could highlight but this one did it for me:

We had a phone call from the Patrick Pinker game farm, who offered us the services of a professional duck catcher

I wonder how much work there is for a professional duck catcher? Can they do geese as well or does you need extra qualifications for that? What about chickens?

I suspect they just hired Dr. Dolittle. How else would they know this...

Daphne had managed to wander more than three miles away, leaving the rest of the menagerie - two mallards, 10 chickens, a dog, a parrot and a pond full of fish - wondering where she had gone.

Hadn't noticed that, but it certainly seems to fit given that they just had to mention the Bentley, what what.

I love that they live on 'Cock Road'

they just had to mention the Bentley, what what.

Should have been an Audi, surely? ;)

Heh, I love local newspapers :D

When I'm back home, I love picking up the Tavistock Times to see what's going on, my favourite was something along the lines of:

"Firemen were called yesterday because of a glass pane which appeared to be in a dangerous position. Upon inspection, it was found to be securely fastened and no further action was required."

The excitement! :D
