Just what we need; another sparrow with a jam tin on his head.
An over-inflated sense of self importance cannot be hidden behind fancy dress and ceremony. May as well hand out fizzy drink and fairy bread.

P.S. Hide that key before the cops arrive.

As a devout ex-catholic Mike, I have instituted (decreed?) Saturday morning as a holy day of obligation to get rid of all the mid week begging.

And you left out the laying on of hands on the dogs ears FD but I understand the exemplary nature of your advice.
