Patriotic Baboons Steal England Footie Flags

Baboons at Knowsley Safari Park in Merseyside have built up a huge collection of World Cup England flags … by stealing them from visitors’ cars.

Visitors are being warned to remove the flags from their vehicles before driving through the section where the 120 pilfering primates roam.

Safari Park general manager David Ross said: "If you think about it, this is hardly surprising. All the baboons were born here on Merseyside so they are Scousers through and through and probably just as football mad as everyone else in the area.”
