Useless facts:
A man from Everest is coming here this evening to design and quote for a new kitchen. His name is Colin. He's just driven in, and he's driving a Blue Ford Focus.
Got to go to open the door for him.

Going back to the tilting head thing, I don't know about pigs, but dogs can tilt their heads up, I've seen them do it.

Long-necked animals such as horses don't seem too good at *tilting* (from the bottom of the neck) their head back.... but have more length for twisting their neck
Mmmmmmmm. What's meant be tiltin your head? Letting the skull 'fold back' over the neck? Given the head shape and the head/neck relation, I should think quite a few animals would have problems with the action
As you can probably tell, I know nothing about it.....

Fish can't tilt their heads back, either, I think. Although eels (are they classified as fish? ) can look all th way round them, of course - a bit like an owl, although not, of course.

OK, I'd definitely believe that Frogs (which rhymes with 'dogs') can't tilt their heads up.

Erm... eels are reptiles, aren't they?
*rummage-rummage-google-google*
Oh no - everyone on the web seems to be telling everyone else that eels are fish not reptiles.
So I don't really need to post this.......

1.
The words "reptile" and "fish" have different letters in them except for the "i".
But "reptile" IS an anagram of "Eel trip", which is ironic since being fish, eels have no feet over which they might trip.

I have too much time on my hands.
