From the mystery of the missing teeth to the urine sample for a goldfish. From the hapless gardener who mows through a power cable, to the debate over fresh or frozen ice to be used in a drink. Why can't you send an octopus through the post, yet you can take your parrot for a walk? The frustration caused by the jobsworths of this world and automatic/robotic telephone answering machines. A humorous and tongue-in-cheek observation of daily life and society. You could not make this up. Life is really stranger and funnier than fiction.
