ROUGH DEAL FOR TERRAPINS.
JAMMY is spot on about the talent of young Michael Owen. Well done. However, as the middle turtle I can't help but wonder about the wisdom of letting the YOUNG lead the way into the future. Surely we AS A SOCIETY have SLIDDEN to the point of precarious ghastliness at which we are by putting our children at the centre of everything - parents pour all their hopes and dreams and SELVES into their offspring and don't develop themselves..............................?? As the middle of 3 terrapins, I hardly knew my parents, and have emerged with a very hard shell. Also, lots of nice shoes in the shops now - for people that is. Nothing for terrapins. Rough deal.

I knew a terrapin once who had the same problem finding shoes and such fashion accesories. His name was Colin and he used to shop at Terrapins 'R' Us. He used to scamper around looking for those tiny clothes for dolls. He said the only problem was the transport to, and from the store. Which happened to be located 8.2 Miles from his pond. Such appaling local council planning has now made it impossible for colin to go and I need to make that trip for him in the car whenever I am passing.
jammy be honest now DID YOU make the terrapin shoes>???
mmmm a hard shell?? but do you find yourself sometimes showing your soft center? As a middle terrapin myself i find my shell is often not tough enough please tell me your secret.
despairing of Yarmouth
I'm afraid i gave up shoe making for terrapins around the same time my magic elves left my house. They were fine tailors.
dear despairing,
magic elves make hard shells. or is it the other way round? i forget.
