Here's a link to make you proud to be British. It's a FIA release by the Cabinet Office of documents relating to Humphrey the cat (pdf). It really is.

Here's one nugget from a veritable treasure trove of brilliance. Why did Humphrey decline to be interviewed by a journalist for an article on "London's Top Cats"?

Unfortunately as Humphrey is a civil servant he is bound by civil service rules and cannot talk to the press about his position.

Barking British eccentricity at its very best.
