I feel old now, I had one of those accounts when I was little 🤣 I remember my mum taking my brother and I to the bank to open them. I don’t know why, we never had any money to put in them. 

At least you got given a money box for your pitiful income.

Pan fried grey squirrel breast is supposed to be very nice. A bit like rabbit. Not sure about the reds. They probably taste good too.

The one that lives in my garden would take about a 32 waist in trousers. It  would do your Christmas dinner.

Abert's squirrels. Sometimes known as tassel-eared squirrels. Although from Wikipedia's description of their habitat, it sounds as though they don't get as far north as Canada. So @Funky Nosejob's encounter may have been with a different species, possibly the fox squirrel.

Abert's Squirrel - Wikipedia

I thought Albert was a mongoose?

Why are there no squirrels in hull? 

This is acorn-y joke, right? 

 

I've just noticed that they've also avoided both Fraserburgh and Peterhead and funnily enough I've never seen a squirrel eating fish. Or take heroin come to think of it.

I'm also intrigued as to how there's an outlier of greys around Aberdeen. I'd like to think that a couple of squirrels from Pittencrieff Park wandered onto a train at Dunfermline Town station and managed to dodge the fare.

No, Albert was eaten by a lion at the zoo. You're thinking of Rikki-tikki-tavi.

Anyway, the point is moot because we're discussing Abert's (no 'l') squirrels which are named after the naturalist John James Abert as any fule kno.
