"The commercials were Britain’s longest-running campaign from 1956 to 2002, but were taken off the air after protests by animal welfare groups. They were inspired by the chimpanzee tea parties held at London Zoo in the Fifties."

I might be wrong here but I'm sure that one of those chimps was at "Twycross Zoo" (famous for its monkeys etc) in Warwickshire - maybe a bit of mis - reporting by The Express there.
Its still a sad event though, those PG chimps were ace!

You're not alone.

There's something rather malevolent about them. I guess they're somehow waiting for their turn to run the planet.

One put 10p in hand once and nodded at me. I've never been the same since.

The injuries must have been horrific because having seen a picture of the woman's reconstructed face, it looks like I did the surgery. In a hurry. Whilst a bit drunk. And heavily distracted.

Yes, but given the entire learning from battlefield medicine, plastic surgery, cosmetic procedures etc over the last 70 years -in this case she has ended up with a pack of Walls sausages grafted to her right cheek and mouth.
