D'ya think this is a con?

.....Panda costs.....real Pandas that is.



"Friday evening, Washington, D.C. gained a new squealing, wriggling pink mass born for the spotlight.

Simply hosting giant pandas is a massive undertaking for American zoos. From constructing state-of-the-art habitats to administering round-the-clock care and monitoring the development and behavior, our wonderfully furry friends take a lot of care. On top of those basic infrastructure requirements, zoos must also pay to loan pandas from China, adding up to an average of $2.6 million per year per pair – and that’s if they don’t have a cub. With every baby panda born to an American zoo, officials must shell out an additional $600,000 in a one-time “baby tax” to the Chinese government. Add in the fact that almost half of successful panda pregnancies result in twins, and the bears might as well be eating green bills instead of bamboo.

Pandas cost about $500,000 to care for annually, according to Dennis Kelly, chief executive of Zoo Atlanta, one of four American zoos that houses pandas. The zoo’s second most expensive animal, the elephant, require just one fifth as much."

Ha - no, never been to Benidorm myself, but she did feature on the Benidorm TV show.
I know a few 'gentlemen' who have been to see her shows. Apparently she's quite something and she's still performing!!

I'm speechless

[Suze65]

Who's sticky vicky, and what does she do, and why is Gordon speechless

Or this another question I shouldn't ask?
