I have had two dogs, both Rottweilers and both from the same breeder, who were tattooed. It’s essentially a serial number to identify them by and it’s on the non furry part of the underside of one ear. It was a forerunner of the microchip but the breeder I’d got mine from preferred to use this measure instead of microchips as the chips can apparently move and at least in the past, if the dogs coat was damp, it could prevent getting a reading.

Solicitors and Barristers are the traditional division of labour between lawyers in the British court system. Iirc, Solictors are the ones who are supposed to work with clients and specialise in the paperwork and research and finding the precedents and preparing legal documents, and Barristers are the ones who specialise in courtroom performance and procedure and protocol. So if someone is wealthy enough to be able to hire multiple lawyers, they'd have one of each. There are more solicitors than barristers, because not everything goes to court.

As a side note, when he said one of his mates is named Steve Bytheway, that is an actual name in Britain. It goes back to the days when freemen didn’t necessarily have last names, and places they lived, like Town names or By The Way (as in “by the road”) would serve as surnames.

The early 1970s in the U.K. were a time of power cuts and reduced petrol availability, so small gigs or carts drawn by miniature ponies (about the size of a Great Dane [there are at least two very close to where I live now]) made a brief reappearance. Often in the hands of people considered eccentric. So an odd woman allowing a small horse to live in the house is not beyond belief. And hot horses kept in very hot accommodation do smell of hot meat.

Seagulls are stupid creatures. It would be easy to catch one. A couple of years ago, I witnessed a seagull get run over by a car outside my house, in the middle of a city, which is nowhere near the sea. It had loads of time to escape, as the car was only going at 25-30mph at best, plus the seagull saw it coming. While it's seagull mates flew off, it just stood there looking at the car, until it was around a metre away from it, and then it decided to take off, so it flew straight into the bumper 20cm from the ground. It's colony of seagull mates kept coming back to see if it was ok, in the middle of my busy A-road, causing vehicles to slam on their brakes, so I rung or emailed the council to take it away, and they did in roughly 30 minutes.

Another thing with the chunky kit kat breaking his teeth is that when he was telling the story about how he does his own dentistry, he mentions that his upper teeth are a strip. So a large section of his upper teeth are one piece. So theoretically, the bite could have dislodged that piece making the 9 teeth come out.
