Is there any such thing anymore? If these two actually are real, do the holes negate any potential value? I paid $3.50, so no harm done. TIA

I loved that opening line: "If all the dogs sold as English Staffordshire were really made of English clay, the island of England today would be about the size of a tea caddy."

You only love it because you aren't Scottish. Since when has England been an island, I'd like to ask?

Oh, gosh! I was so focused on the bit about the amount of clay extracted to make 500 zillion "Staffordshire" dogs that I didn't really catch that. I feel a right numpty. But now... Now I'm outraged! OUTRAGED, I say! APPALLED and outraged! (Will that do?)
