Yep we used to keep them as pets as kids for a bit before letting them go (wouldn't do it nowadays!), in those small plastic fish tank things with the ventilated lids. Don't hear of them now.

Oh yeah I bought my lad a stick insect after I had to look after one from the school during the summer holidays...I thought you meant they lived wild in hedges in Britain.

British Wrestling was bigger than American Wrestling and was one of the nations most loved entertainment pastimes, where hundreds and thousands of people would attend shows up and down the country, almost every night and millions would watch on the telly every week.
