Can squirrels get addicted to crack?

[maximilian ping]

*bump*

Heard crack squirrels mentioned at a meeting last week - I work for a North London Council and a senior director mentioned them at a big meeting. Apparently a caretaker told her about an incident

What incident?

It's designed by a "Peckham-based creative collective"

They have a web shop, but it seems that design is not available as a T-shirt

Crack squirrels just got a mention on Radio 4's The Unbelievable Truth. David Mitchell said it was true because it had been reported in the papers and mentioned a quote from the Sun.

Late update: why have I not been informed of the existence of the Malabar squirrel, perhaps soon to be renamed the Psytrance Squirrel? Twice the size of its European or North American counterparts, lives in India, has vari-coloured coat of extreme flamboyance:

I couldn't get into that - Mr Bezos has a pay wall.
Can I recommend this alternative publication dealing with the same issue - including a 20 second clip of an attack squirrel "acting out" in a age.
