Oooh Claude,

I know what you mean. Take the Koala bear, they have a lot to answer for. Did you know that their pelletised low water content dung was the original inspiration for the Halls Mentholyptus cough sweet? And their cute face and cuddly helplessness remind me that they can be quite vicious, indeed, if Lou-Lou were to feed them a glass or two of Knob Creek - best not waste the Old Pogue - they could get quite unpleasant.

Actually my Willie was thinking of changing the trim in the Brigand. The West of England cloth headlining would stay but we were thinking of Ostrich leather for the door cards but now I am thinking that Koala leather might be better - Claude, would you be a love and see if you could get me some, they are quite small so I think we may need of the order of 25 hides in Sky Blue.

Bear with,

Cass x

The other thing to Bear in mind with cunning Koala's is that they have identical finger prints to humans. Many unsolved crimes are thought to have been the result of Koala theft !

Useful extra pockets when used to re trim the Brigand.
