The
raccoon dog is native to China, Korea, Japan, and southeastern Siberia. Adults measure about 65 cm (2 ft) and weight ranges from 4 to 10 kg (9 to 22 lb). Average litters are large, up to 15 or more pups. Longevity is 3–4 years in the wild and up to 11 years in captivity. The species is found in both plains and mountainous regions and is especially common in woodlands. The Raccoon Dog is commonly seen near villages and in rural areas. They absolutely cannot
enlarge their scrotums.

There'll Always Be An England: Wymondham College Remembered. Where matrons are called
Scrotum;
food is delightful torture;
nicknames and slang surpass anything in "How To Be Topp";
staff cars look like Dinky toys; strange and cruel
rules and punishments are perversely celebrated - and
smoking is
de rigueur in the best bicycle-shed fashion. Before anyone mentions the playing fields of Eton, they should know that aptly acronymed WC is a
comprehensive school, i.e. public and free, as opposed to "public" schools which are (of course!) private, exclusive and expensive in the UK. And it's only about 50 years old, though it feels and looks like 500.
Anyway, it's a
sooper, smashing website, full of the real
flavour and fun of
olde England. Well, East Anglia actually, old fruit! (
These few links I've suggested don't even begin to do it justice. Talk about Monty Python; I nearly died!)
