A few days ago, over a long, boozy Sunday lunch I found myself (as you do) debating the existence of purple squirrels. As it turns out, they do exist. Well at least one does. I mean, did. There's a good chance his fur has fallen out by now according to the wildlife experts.
You can read all about Pete the used-to-be-purple squirrel here ; he was first spotted outside a school and various theories have been proposed about how he turned purple. I've been swayed by the suggestion that he'd been chewing on some abandoned printer cartridges, but one of my lunch companions was convinced that "too much beetroot" was to blame. I guess we'll never know.
