Piggies

This caught my eye on tonight's BBC web-site. "A farmer accused of keeping "wild boar" without a licence has been acquitted after a sheriff ruled the animal did not exist in the UK." Now if you use the word 'wild' in its Campbeltonian sense ( ie meaning 'very' or 'tremendous(ly)', as in "that's a wild tame dog you've got there, Erchie")..... and you alter the spelling of 'boar' to 'bore'....... then it would NOT be true to say that such an animal does not exist in the UK There are in fact thousands of them in Scotland alone. Many of them are Sheriffs. And some others keep weblogs
