Hope it's better than the one held at Paignton a couple of years ago!
Imagine my excitement on being the first person to book tickets for what was billed as a keeper talk about life working with apes. The anticipation of behind the scenes inside information about my favourite part of the zoo!
But the keeper was unfortunately ill on the night and two others had to stand in, leading large groups of people on an improvised trip round the monkey house and across to the baboons before ending up, at last, in the Ape House. The groups were too large for those of us at the back to hear anything said by the keeper as we wandered around. I pushed to the front in the Ape House to hear questions such as 'what are their names' and 'which one is your favourite'.
I didn't hang about for the cakes.
