‘What’s the time’, asked the Mole?
‘6.40’, replied Ratty
‘In the morning’ enquired Mole?
‘Teatime’, said Badger
‘Why has that happened Mr Badger’, Mole continued?
‘To make us more like Europe’, explained Badger
‘Do we like Europe today’, asked Mole?
‘Sun’s over the yard arm earlier in Europe’, Toad interrupted. ‘It means we can have the aperitif at une bonne heure’.
‘Will we stay in Europe’, asked Mole?
‘Fuck knows’, they all said.
