Where I used to live in Nottingham a well to do area was always known as Bread and Lard Island. Friend who was a gas fitter went to a very large house there to sort out the central heating and the owner would not let him go upstairs so he said he would go then. Eventually when he got up there they were sleeping on a mattress on the floor and the wardrobe was a washing line slung across the room.
There ya go.
Thats definitely an example of fur coat and no knickers.
Going back to the feathers spitting one - I don't understand why an angry person would have feathers in their mouth.
But I do understand that a fox who had eaten some chicken meat but had still got the feathers in his mouth would feel thirsty.
Or is he angry because the chickens had feathers in the first place?
Bet Meghan would know. She's so clever and is a chicken rescuer after all.
