French speaking baboons at Port Lympne

FG ≫ 2006 ≫ French speaking baboons at Port Lympne

According to BBC's 100 things we didn't know this time last year, zoo keepers at Port Lympne wild animal park in Kent are having to learn French to communicate with the baboons which had been raised in French zoos. The same feature also teaches us that Anthony Worrell Thompson has swum The Channel.

This is my site The Folkestone Gerald that I set up in a fury of excitement when I first came to Folkestone sometime in 2004. I had been a frequent visitor for a while before that so I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get nowadays. The site was updated more frequently with a calendar of events and voting for favourite places and things, + I hear it was a useful resource for others who were moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though just a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as Folkestone itself is now becoming the exciting place we knew it was about to become. My name is not Gerald by the way, this comes from the name of a pretend paper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, + how there is a local paper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are GRATE aren't they? Do get in touch if you have anything to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
