Now granny McFearty of the Hedgehogs of Dimwittie please don’t fly into a fuss over your cup of tea being on the cool side – not heated to boiling hot the way you like it.

You know how you roll into a ball at any sudden sound.

On your last visit when Badger knocked at the door you burnt your belly and had to go straight to the doctor.

We are not wanting that again are we?
