sheep are lovable creatures - for some, occasionally a little too lovable - that do a good job of soaking up all the rain from your wellies. Ferrets are not to be underestimated, or mistaken for sheep, otherwise severe pain could ensue.Now can somebody please explain to us Essex folk what is a sheep? And what is a ferret?

Just in case anyone did not get my gag. If someone says that they do not subscribe to something then it is reasonable assumption that it is a publication available to those who choose to subscribe. There may be lawyers in the building about to arrest me for harassment so I must tpe quk.0

@LongTermLurker
If you want to handle sheep then you could try something like this.
I have discovered how easily it is to take a statement out of context and to twist it into something else unmeant and perhaps contradictory. The temptation is always there with journalists, politicians and me.
