We interrupt this game to bring you an important public service announcement:

There is (said to be) a lion running around loose in a small village in SE England.

Lions must really be present or Essex police will change their minds and say it was a large cat.  ;)

Essex police have called off the search, saying it is a large cat as David predicted. Must be a heck of a large cat to be mistaken for a lion.

And I will say to my lion, Lion, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
