Neolithic Park

I understand that there are now plans afoot to re-introduce all kinds of beasties into the UK which used to live here but are now extinct - such as wolves, bears , lynx and so on. Now I've had enough of foxes rummaging through the bins and I've seen documentaries of what happens in Canada when the bears get a little peckish and set off into town for some late night fried chicken and burgers which is not something I would want on my doorstep thank you very much. Not that it's all bad - I believe that there was once a crocodile happily paddling round in the waters somewhere near Colchester and would urge Essex County Council to consider re-introducing them as it would be a significant environmental improvement and would also act as a deterrent to migrant Poles who have set off on carp fishing expeditions.
There are apparently now beavers living in Kent, though I doubt they'll get planning permission for a dam as there are too many floods there already and I doubt they've thought about including a hydro-electric scheme into it, still if they do get the go ahead it would make an interesting edition of Grand Designs - I can almost hear Kevin McCloud uttering the following words "So you've gone for the stripped wood finish then?"
