@markdodd1310 Busy central Birmingham coffee shop until 2 minutes ago when someone thought they saw a mouse! #massexodus Not entirely sure what they thought the mouse was going to do to them. Maybe people are more detached from animals and nature than I realised!

@bobby_lennox That’s not a bad ‘office’ you have there Bobby!

[John Donaldson @JDHarperAdams]
