We heard today about the cat who got posted in error with a parcel of DVD’s only to end up 260 miles away from home. Seemingly no one noticed that the cat had nodded off in the box before it got mailed.

Listen again to what Margaret had to say on this subject by clicking on the link below: –
See you next time,
