Damn. Oh well. A recent change in the law says I may now keep a capybara without a licence, so that'll have to do.
Can you imagine a pet shop that sold elephants? It'd have to be vast! And just imagine the wheel for them to run round in!
Then people would abandon them and there'd be herds of feral elephants, trumpeting outside your window at night, overturning your bins and pooing on your lawn.
I have to say, Gordon's made a sensible decision.
