“A neighbour – an eminent retired politician, philanthropist and keen ornithologist – has just acquired an owl whistle, beautifully crafted from wood. When blown, it makes a most realistic toowooo….

It is quite clear that these two gentlemen have been hooting to each other, with no actual owl involved.” Name withheld, Somerset —Your Problems Solved (U.K. Advice Column) (Spectator)
Oh, those lovable, eccentric Brits.
