"...with the type of wallowing cars you Yanks drive..." On the contrary, mostly it's my MGs that keep me in stitches (repairable with cat thread). BTW, I stand corrected - I hadn't made it to the las

Frankly I'm very surprised that no one has mentioned the ad on the facing page -- page 32 -- you know... the ad for cat food pellets. I ordered some of those tasty morsels and my dogs just gobble the
