Well, if you ever need a dead badger to have a go on, just let me know. I have... contacts.

"Contacts" in this instance meaning that the road is an easy stroll from the doorstep?

Oh, it's a little more complex than that. You see, Lewis doesn't have a native badger population. They all got eaten by the mink.

Which are not native, I'm thinking, but which are quite aggressive. That does complicate matters.
Edit: Unless you happen to possess the correct adapter, is that it?

I've never yet had the opportunity to plug a mink into a mains socket, so I honestly wouldn't know. They aren't entirely bad news - they keep down the rabbit population through most of the island - but they're extremely bad for the birds, both wild and domesticated.

I recall a news item from a few years back: the inhabitants of a mink farm -- don't recall how many, exactly, but more than a couple hundred of them -- escaped into the wild, and the locals were... a bit distressed* for a few days until most of them could be rounded up.
Edit: The incident of which I was thinking was in southern England, iirc, but here's an item about a more recent (and larger) incident in Germany. * passing hexahedral units of masonry
