Peter,     I agree.  We must keep Nessie alive in our hearts.  After all, Lincolnshire has the LAC (Large Alien Cat) or the "Wold Lion" as she is sometimes called.  Haven't heard much about her in recent years.     I'm probably just jealous because this part of California celebrates the local "banana slug" as its mascot.  Yuch!  Is that the best we could do?         Lou

I've never heard of this cat...am I alone? Enlighten us Lou. I think I remember hearing about a drain crocodile ...or was that just a Yellowbelly pulling my leg. I agree with your assessment of the banana slug or any other west coast slug for that matter. Certainly not anything I want to celebrate! Nothing like getting a handful of one of these whilst pulling a weed in the garden! For sure a loud "YUCK" Linda B.C.

Hi Linda Stories of big cats and other large animals abound (or bound whichever way you look at it :-) We have the Beast of Bodmin But there are plenty more I think the over active minds of many a tourist promoter may account for at least some of them ;-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beast_of_Bodmin You can keep your slugs ! (likewise YUCK) They do like beer though, but not salt on their chips <g> Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 17/02/2014 19:39, Linda Sokalofsky wrote: > I've never heard of this cat...am I alone?
