Louise and I recently exhibited at Anuga, the world's largest trade show for food and drink at Cologne in Germany. An amazing experience talking to so many different nationalities from Mongolia to Mexico, Kazakstan to Kenya and everything between. Some interesting and very positive reactions to teapigs so we'd better start brushing up our linguistic abilities. Which is exactly what we had to do when we entered a rather strange estabilshment in search of refreshment on the way home. According to the owner the pictures on the wall were of the local Carnival King but judging by the hats and broomsticks we weren't too sure. Louise is bravely trying to smile above her obvious fear. We smiled, nodded, ate and left in one piece. (posted by Nick)

The Carnival King looks is dressed rather similar to this chap
