Föderation EN Mi 18.09.2024 12:00:05 Here's a headline: "Gatwick train cancelled after squirrels board and 'refuse to leave'" |
Föderation EN Mi 18.09.2024 12:31:24 @ColinTheMathmo send a dog in, they would want to leave quite quickly |

Föderation DE Mi 18.09.2024 12:47:48 What's wrong with a travelling squirrel? |
Föderation DE Mi 18.09.2024 13:22:43 @finche According to the report they didn't have tickets. |
Föderation DE Mi 18.09.2024 13:35:39 @ColinTheMathmo @finche Lucky for them that they didn't try this in the subway in New York ;-) |
Föderation EN Mi 18.09.2024 13:22:46 @ColinTheMathmo The squirrels did nothing wrong. Whoever cancelled the train made a very poor decision, and hassled hundreds of people for no reason. |
Föderation EN Mi 18.09.2024 13:23:48 @riley According to the article they didn't have tickets ... |
Föderation EN Mi 18.09.2024 13:36:09 @ColinTheMathmo Not a good reason to stop the train and delay everybody. |
Föderation EN Mi 18.09.2024 13:38:44 @ColinTheMathmo @riley there's your problem - fare evasion! In America we deal with this by having the transit cops shoot the squirrel fare-evaders, and any nearby civilians as well. Problem solved! |
Föderation EN Mi 18.09.2024 13:39:22 @oddhack How do you know the squirrels were even old enough to need tickets? |
Föderation EN Mi 18.09.2024 13:41:04 |
Föderation EN Mi 18.09.2024 13:46:32 @ColinTheMathmo Well, aren't they short enough to obviously fall under the age limit? @oddhack |

Föderation EN Mi 18.09.2024 13:58:40 @ColinTheMathmo well done. If I were a squirrel I wouldn't leave either |
Föderation EN Mi 18.09.2024 14:06:29 @ColinTheMathmo Looks like a North American Eastern Grey squirrel. An invasive species in the UK. They can be quite bold and obnoxious. |

Föderation EN Mi 18.09.2024 16:32:47 @jstatepost @ColinTheMathmo I prefer the common moniker American Tree Rat. Ever see them fight each other and throw each other out of a tree? Or drop acorns on your head to get you to leave? And don't you dare take your eyes off your food if you are sitting on a bench. They are supremely adapted. |
Föderation EN Mi 18.09.2024 16:17:01 @profdc9 @ColinTheMathmo invasive, yes, but also a useful foil for the decimation of red squirrels due to habitat encroachment by humans Mind you, if the UK had anything half as fierce as our tiny red squirrels (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus), they'd have seen off the interlopers immediately |
Föderation EN Mi 18.09.2024 14:08:34 "none of this had to happen if they'd just paid us the small bribe in popcorn!" -- extortionist squirrels who are coming for all your trains! |
Föderation EN Mi 18.09.2024 16:42:08 @peachfront @ColinTheMathmo Not a penny for tribute! They will take all they can! |

Föderation EN Mi 18.09.2024 16:54:57 @ColinTheMathmo I stood there in the aisle and firmly requested, "Tickets, please." And when they did not show them, I moved on to, "I'm terribly sorry, but if you have no tickets, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to exit the train onto the platform." And they just waved their bushy tails at me, and carried on as if I weren't nothing. Rude. Fifteen years conducting, and never met any Brit so disrespectful of my authority. Of course we stopped the train. |
