Agreed, but the question is what does one call all the breeds collectively?
err... Down breeds
But I wouldn't like to argue the point - I got given a copy of Lynn
Trusse's book "Eats Shoots and Leaves" for Christmas (it's a humourous
look at the way our grammar is degrading) and no longer feel secure in
anything I write! (I just hope I put that apostrophe in the right place).
In non-downland Cheshire - which does not appear to have a sheep
breed of its own :-(
But you have the fictional and famous cat.
We do indeed (and a lot of fine cheese).
That cat appears (for real and permanently) in a church window somewhere
around here.
