I spotted this gentleman out shopping in the market town of Settle a few weeks ago. You can't see it in the picture, but the ferret is actually wearing a harness and a lead. I can assure any overseas readers that it is perfectly normal practice to go shopping with a pet ferret here in Yorkshire. The owner did ask if I wanted to stroke his pet, but I declined as I can still remember what happened to poor Richard Whitely some years ago on live TV.

I guess most people over certain age will recall that famous scene with Richard showing I think what he was made of. Thanks for the clip I love the final comment, classic TV.
