Would that be realistically feasible in this country?

Bear Grylls - Bear grills - always makes me think of the revolting putrefied bears' paw, served as a Chinese delicacy in parts of South-East Asia!

Tom. An Bottom Inspector will be round later, to examine your bottom for evidence of inadequate wiping due to the use of inappropriate vegetation. Penalties are issued on a sliding scale for over-enthusiastic use of pine cones or leaves, up to a maximum of 48 hours in Mac's 'bottom-correction centre'!
