Albert the Guyanese ! - ketchim - 11-05-2012 ‘Albert’ hanging in the library of Britain’s Foreign & Commonwealth Office in London November 2, 2012. — Reuters pic              Re: Albert the Guyanese ! - ketchim - 11-05-2012 LONDON, Nov 2 — Britain’s Foreign Office spent £10,000 (RM49,000) to re-stuff the corpse of a giant 120-year-old snake, at a time when government departments are being told to rein in spending. In response to a Freedom of Information request from political blog Guido Fawkes, the Foreign Office said the 6-metre anaconda — called Albert — ::lol:: ::lol:: had been in poor condition and required “essential maintenance”. Re: Albert the Guyanese ! - ketchim - 11-05-2012 “Albert the anaconda was allegedly presented by a bishop in what is now Guyana : ::redcard:: to the Colonial Secretary in the 19th century”, the Foreign Office said. Re: Albert the Guyanese ! - ketchim - 11-05-2012 A spokesman for the Foreign Office recoiled at the suggestion that reviving Albert’s looks might not be essential work for a government whose prime minister warned voters just last month to brace for “painful decisions” on the economy.
