Well! Now here is the thing. You see those over there?
Well, they are NOT real ones!
Yes, it is true. They are false - imitation - weasels.
Is nothing sacred any more? Why, back in my day, there would have been a massive outcry, front-page stories in the press, TV and radio newsflashes and extensive in-depth coverage. As well as questions in Parliament, apoplectic letters to the editor, arguments in the pubs, and - quite possibly - even comments made in the cake shops.
Quite simply - we would not have stood for it.
But, these days, these days, well….
It seems - these days - that just anyone can walk around with any number of imitation small mammals without provoking even a murmur of disquiet or discontent. False weasels, imitation voles, counterfeit badgers, bogus field mice, invalid foxes, fictitious stoats, you name it. It seems anything goes in this day and age.
Well… I suppose it only goes to show. Times change and all that bollocks.
Still, if you ask me (and I'll still tell you, even if you don't) it will all end in tears. It is all well and good having all these imitations, but what will happen, for example, when you next need an authentic ferret for your next Ceremonial Immolation of the Estate Agent?
What then, eh?
What then?
