South Lakes Wild Animal Park Capuchin Monkey has escaped

Please tell me that this post was an attempt at sarcasm. Not only was it horribly anthropormorphic and demonstrated a lack of basic knowledge on the behaviour of primates, but it showed a SERIOUS lack of understanding on the way customs works ;)

I'm afraid to say RedPanda that I think she was 100% serious with this post :rolleyes:
Glad it has been found anyway

Perhaps he has designs on replacing Rowan Williams (Archbishop of Canterbury) as Primate of All England

Note he was also hanging around a train station - obviously trying to reach the bright lights of London as Cheetahgirl said. O ye of little faith!

I think what was meant by this was 'IF IT WAS STOLEN, it could be in London by now'. Correct?;)

Though we know 'what was lost is now found...'

If cheetahgirl was referring to it being stolen and taken to London, why would we have to check our attics ;)

or sitting in an attic, garage or cellar, cold and dehydrated. Injured and possibly dying, so check your cellars attics and garages, fast.:eek:

It reads- OR sitting in an Attic, Garage, Cellar etc.

So if it wasn't (stolen and in) in London, or elswhere, then it could be in an attic, garage, cellar etc just locally to South Lakes. So that could have been a request just to all people locally in the South Lakes area to check their attics etc, is my guess.:;)

Likewise, it reads "It might not even be in Cumbria now, it might be in London OR worst case scenario it might have been stolen." Therefore, by your own logic (;)) that means one scenario is that it could be in London whilst another is that it could have been stolen.

Yes, that is how it reads but I presumed that cheetahgirl meant to put the 'it might have been stolen' part before 'it might be in London'.
I don't think she ever meant it had run all the way to London or travelled by itself on National Express, which is what caused such justified merriment:) - just that it might have ended up there as a result of somebody stealing it.

Grammatically it does read like two different scenarios but I don't think that was the intention.
