Alpacas

Today I was reminded that I am the king of blagging. Ask me almost any question and I'll come back with an answer that sounds as though I know what I'm talking about. And some of the time I even do. I also do an excellent line in a combination of luck and guesswork.

So yesterday I was having lunch with Ken, Midders and Beko and the conversation came onto the topic of how Bethanie Amey smelled a bit like a damp Alpaca after her time in Argentina. We then tried to work out what an Alpaca actually is.

"I'm pretty sure the Alpaca is a member of the camel family" say I with typical confidence, to which the instant reply "you're completely blagging that" comes back.

And they were right. Ha, but so was I :-) The Alpaca is indeed a member of the camel family, the camelidae as we discovered this afternoon on Wikipedia.

And so, I am the king of blagging. (Oh and I once read somewhere that the llama is a member of the camel family so took a chance that the alpaca was also in the same family)
