Typical scousers then lol 😉

“A safari park in Merseyside is urging patriotic football fans to remove England flags from their vehicles to stop gangs of baboons pinching them.
Bosses at Knowsley Safari Park say the 120-strong troop of baboons usually swipe windscreen wipers but have turned to stealing World Cup flags instead.

Safari Park general manager David Ross said: “Many people are wisely removing them before going on the safari drive.

“If they forget the baboons usually take them.”

According to Mr Ross, the baboons have built up quite a stash.

He added: “Visitors are certainly enjoying their antics with the flags as it does look like they are showing their support for the efforts of the England team.

“The baboons have always been great fun but they are the vandals of the animal world.

“Our advice to England fans is to remove their flags before they arrive or to use the alternative car-friendly route around the outside of the monkey jungle.” “

I did once toy with the idea of putting one on my pushbike (more as a joke) but then David Cameron went and did it.I can handle being thought of as a chav raver type but not as a Young Conservative…

And I did think it would only slow you down because of the adverse aerodynamics.

The flags are better off as toys for monkeys.

Although I expect in the next few weeks the zoo vet will note that some of the monkeys have formed into groups of 22 and are kicking apples and other round fruit from one end of their enclosure to the other. whilst the rest have watched and then had a huge fight and trashed the enclosure.

And one older monkey, who had been watching all the others kicking the fruit and was trying to set down some rules and discourage all the others from fighting, was then presented (amidst much chattering) with a pair of spectacles stolen from a visitors car..
