Parking was a problem and I ended up carring my collection of stuffed birds right across the city. It was a relief to be able to spread them all out on the mahogony table. Bill Christian, who was chairing the hearing looked down the length of the table to where I was sitting. "Tony" he said "They are all stuffed." "That" I replied " is what this hearing is all about. If we do not keep the dogs out the birds are stuffed."
