Pied Piper.. Brazil is the home of the "brazilian" (as well as Brazilians).... not the "beaver"...

it is an either/or situation but it cannot be both.

Col that's a classic. No beavers in Brazil!

I wonder if there is any conservation movement.

I generally use cricket analogies (grass on the wicket etc) when it comes to this sort of thing. In fact I can talk to a few mates purely in terms of cricket and the WAGS just don't seem to get it for some reason.

Oh, maybe it was when he got back from Spain.

There are a few countries he is not allowed to return to during my life time

Pied Piper, You said

"Well that’s weird, hubby came back from a business trip in Brazil and I recall him mentioning that he’d never seen such good looking beaver everywhere". I think you meant to type 'anywhere'.

He told you that AFTER he got home. Now give him a kiss for paying you a nice compliment.

I once mentioned the 'map of Tassie' and the boss replied that now it was more like Russia!

Banjo baby, don’t be a smart arse. I think it was Spain, something about gorgeous women there and beautifully dressed. I think the story about Rio was more about the guns and not being very safe place.

He came back from Canada with a story about strip clubs and how the patrons throw gold coins at the dancers – struck me as rather cheap and mean but he’s not allowed to go back there now.

He said nothing about females in England so he’s still allowed there. He was in Los Vegas a couple of months ago, never said a word about the place. Maybe the boy is learning.

Pied piper,
I wasn't trying to be a smart arse. It does not matter if he had been in Spain or Rio. I think he was paying you a compliment.

The Canada thing does sound a bit cheap and I thought they were more conservative than the Yanks. I also thought coins went out with pre war belly dancers in the ME.

Col is right, beaver is a yank term, around here it is the 'map of Tassie' The boss mumbled something about hot wax so I retired to the shed before it cost me more money. Did not get the cuppa I came in for either.
