Ottery St. Mary has been flooded. Eep! All those poor otters. Of course, otters can swim.

[Apologising in advance to anyone who may have been affected by the floods]

A deluge of otters...

[pythia_delphi]

Indeed. ~g~

Those otters are pretty fierce, I understand.

Also, this is added to the list of towns and cities in the UK that I am determined to visit someday just because of the name. It's right up there with Milton Keynes and John O'Groats.

It might be the inspiration for Ottery. St. Cachpole too. Milton Keynes, however, is one of the most boring places on the planet, so I wouldn't bother if I were you.

Oh I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who heard that particular news item and had this reaction.

[pythia_delphi]

I did have the grace to feel bad about it... after I had listened to the episode again. :-)

It's a plot by the otters to take over the world.

Led by Hermione, no doubt.
