Sigh. Its Portsmouth which is in Sussex in the UK, not Portchester. Coconuts are sold in the uk, ever heard of importing? And its been ‘shopped to take out the string at the top, it was suspended from a washing line by a strong string and a hole made in the bottom, he’s basically sticking his head in a dangling coconut. There. I sucked the fun outta that one for you.

Would that be an African Swallow or a European Swallow?

Don’t we all just love illusions ?

A 100 grams squirrel which can lift a 1 kg+ coconut…
that was mostly empty, obviously.

You’ve heard of feeding Beer to Cows to make the meat taste better, have you not? If you haven’t = well, you get the idea now, don’t you?

@ EMF:

I don’t understand what that article has to do with squirrels feasting on coconut in a place where coconuts do not normally grow. Although it’s a fantastic article for a vegetarian… thanks

@sadtomato perhaps it was carried in by a swallow. It could grip it by the husk.

I love squirrels. They are so “squirrel-ly.”

I think Atlas used to carry the Globe when he was younger, but the Sunday edition got to be too heavy for him.

(not sure where it says “globe” in the item, Polx…)

How did a squirrel get a coconut in the UK??

Aside from the fact that Atlas did not carry the Globe, but was cursed to carry the SKY….this item is bulletproof.

So disregarding it being wrong. well done.
