I’ve been rather unfortunate with pets over the last five years and I’d really like to give it a go.
Slightly off subject, but I thought I’d share anyway:
When I lived in S.A. we used to buy formaldehyde for about .60c and paint it on our nails to make them strong. Years later I returned to the U.K and popped into a chemist to ask for formaldehyde for my nails. Well the chemist kept me waiting and waiting and waiting, suddenly there were 4 police officers in the chemist, he had rang them because you can’t buy it in the U.K. and he thought I wanted it to embalm a dead body!

Ginger – as I understand it you do need a license – but there are exemptions. As far as I recall you will not need a permit to stuff Adrian Chiles or Simon Cowell but your dead hamster is another matter – probably needing an Act of Parliament.
