nah, that's a legend. they're from the miocene. luckily there were no british people to complain about them coming over here and stinging our children because humans wouldn't exist for another 23 million years.

Another primary school lie. Times tables might have been the only fact I was taught at this rate.

Did Romans introduce cabbages and edible dormice, or was that untrue as well?

We have those where I live (Edible dormice / Glis Glis). I think they came from one of the Rothschild's private zoo.

I've heard people speak of them but I'll have nothing to do with them.
