They weren’t actually tiny, they were about a metre long. But they do seem out of proportion.

They were very muscular and ended in very sharp talons, so pretty deadly.

I was trying to explain to an elderly friend that people don’t just phone other people now and certainly not at times they will be doing something.

She found it hard to accept that many people find it rude to be called unannounced.

As an example, at one time if someone was organising a social event (eg party) they would phone around to invite people.

But that’s incredibly rude you are imposing on someone and also asking them to decide or excuse themselves on the spot.
