Hallo Mark + Charlie,
ja, your American Squirrel is really something special.
I mad a mistake, as I wrote: GB England made an unwanted import...
Some English people made a wanted import and set them free 100 years ago.
Now is is present almost everywhere at England and the native English 
Squirrel is more and more erased.
Now-a-days the British are hating the American Squirrel and loving the 
English one.
The difference must be really obviously.
Anyhow, the British are not calculating the direct damage, but more the  
indirect damage due to the change of the fauna.
We received some other animals from you and probably vice versa.

ciao
hans
