#034 Boris the Red Squirrel
"Boris is your classically eccentric English gentlesquirrel. He refuses to trim his ear hair to the point that one day it is likely to impair his vision, let alone his hearing. He drives a meticulously maintained British racing-green Triumph Stag and, when he’s not tinkering under the bonnet, he dons his best tweed suit and does his duty playing the local church’s ancient pipe organ. However, he refuses to play ‘Jerusalem’ due to bad memories of boarding school, so anyone wishing to include it in their wedding service has to play it through a 1970s cassette player system and tolerate a rocking squirrel pushing hair into his ears in the corner." (Kerry Lord, Edward's Menagerie, 2014)
