I would, as would anyone surely. Not wishing to get into a wanky philosophy debate but I think this might be a case of "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence". Especially in the case of an intelligent animal that doesn't want to be found so will be naturally elusive.

 

I'm not 100% in the believer camp, as I've never seen anything irrefutable with my own eyes, but I'm certainly closer than I used to be after one experience. I hesitate to mention this as it's nowhere near hard evidence, but two of us once saw two large shapes in the dusk in a wood that were (unmistakably??) feline and large.  But, the mind is a funny thing. I think deep down I want it to be true so my perception might have been tailored to fit that.

 

What was your story?

 

 

 

No big story really.

I was driving to a job on the Wye Downs with my mate a few years back along a single width country lane.

A black cat about the size of a labrador walked across the road and stopped halfway across.

Probably 60m away.

When I drove towards it it darted into the hedgerow.

Broad daylight, both sober, and saw the same thing.

 

We got to the job and told the customer, who wasn’t surprised in the slightest.

’Yes, they are around here’.

 

I’m a country lad who has shot and hunted my whole life, so I know the difference between a black domestic moggy that was closer than I thought or a badger etc.

As January marks five years on from Britain leaving the EU, Alicja Hagopian and Kate Devlin explore its impact

 

Don’t believe everything you read in the papers Mark 😂😂😂😂😂 personally speaking it’s worked for me and I’d vote to leave again tomorrow if the referendum was rerun. 

Jokes  aside I see Farages stand on Tommy Robinson might just have cost him a few quid off Elon.

Brexit might have worked for you in your industry, but for many who don't have specialised income streams it has been a right pain in the arse. There are in general few noticeable benefits of Brexit.  They clearly didn't take back control of our borders, £350mil a week to the NHS etc.

Please feel free to let me know how the general population has actually benefited from the UK leaving the EU.

I can’t speak for others Mark and wouldn’t try to, my income streams come from hard work and sacrifice over the years. They ain’t that specialised, anyone can do it if they want to. EU is no friend of the working man mark, more a corporate employment agency is my own view.

I know you don’t Mark, it wasn’t a serious comment.
