The only badger I've seen is one I ran over in my car earlier this year.

It ran out in front of me. Probably spaced out on mushrooms or something...

Best thing for it. If you hadn't it probably would have attacked the car with it's immense sharp claws, draging you out of the drivers door to your certain death.

Exactly. I can't believe I was so close to such a violent death and 15 mins of fame as headline news in the local paper.

Mind you. When I drove down the same way the next morning, there was no body. Maybe I didn't kill it. Maybe it is hunting me down as we speak (I don't use that road very much now as I've moved since then). Do we know if badgers are vindictive creatures? *hides under duvet* :eek: :eek:

How do you tell the difference between a weasel and a stoat?

A weasel is weasily recognised, but a stoat is stoatally different.

Stoats are good. I was having a picnic by a canal (?) once as a wee strip of a lad, and a stoat came and started eating our sandwiches, right in front of the whole family. Completely fearless fe**ers! But to be a true believer, you surely need a stoat avatar?

as a child I used to enjoy reading 'The Wind in the Willows' (not the proper book, a big-print, shortened, picture book version!), but now I realise that the book was just a vehicle for Kenneth Grahame's SHOCKING RACISM.
Every stoat and weasel in the story are low-down, criminal, robbing, nasty SOBs, Whereas the badger character is a paragon of virtue!

And it's no coincidence how I grew up a little bit scared of stoats and weasels (whenever I walked through the woods, I always thought they were hiding in the trees, waiting to rob me!)

I'm not a fan of censorship, but this book should be BANNED NOW.
