Well, you've all done 'kiff' and 'flab' to death, and not a mention of CRUG !

Is this for real, Spoonbill ? It seems so 'Monty Python-esqe' ! Of course it's for real ! I remember Mr. Bott well from my visits to Horsham - he used to let my brother and I play with his ferret and listen to him play the musical saw. What were his years as a 'bocker' ?
