With some hesitation, I post here that today is ... erm ... squirrel appreciation day. Roll Eyes

My learned friend Red Squirrel here on the Coffee Shop forum is obviously of our native variety, rather than those invasive grey tree rat intruders - although the author of that post, from the USA, interestingly chooses to illustrate it with an image of a red squirrel. Lips sealed

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.
