Julie, I think of this everytime I watch Girls Next Door or hear about Puffins!

My family was getting out of the car and getting ready to go into Captain D's and for some random reason my DD(4 at the time) had a small blow-up puffin. She wanted to take it in with her but I said "No, they don't allow puffin's in here because they will eat up all of the fish." Reluctantly, she put it in her carseat to wait on her. She get's to the door and there is (and I'm not even kidding) a "NO Puffin'" sticker stuck on the door! (Now it was a puffin with a cigarette in it's mouth, to say no puffin on a cigarette, but it was enough to confirm that Puffin's aren't allowed in! lol)
(Kind of like this one)

Wow. What are the chances? I'm sure you've never let your DD forget it either. Great Story!

Enjoyed listening to the puffin segment also.

Thought this would be of interest since this (http://www.puffincruises.com) business is along the road from me has went from strength to strength :)
Had a great team day out where we all felt like David Attenborough when we got back to the office.

NB. in the interests of full disclosure I have no financial relationship with the business. Do not get any commission. But we have provided business support to this new enterprise ;)

We don't live in a bad part of the world really - when the sun shines:flower3:

If only WDW was a bit closer :scared:

Oh, I'd love to come over to Scotland one day! I've hit all around back with mom and dad were footing the bill, but never Scotland!
