elcome to the July/August edition of Inside Magazine, the local magazine for Chingford and Highams Park.

Recently I was made to recall our seventh television.

The salesperson told us it was a smart TV, and I agreed. “It’s dead smart” I said. It only took us a week to find BBC1, and from that point on we were delighted. We’d go to bed at night and place its little remote on a silken pillow. I’d rise early to rush downstairs to see the TV and I’d hold it in my arms for a moment and breathe in its plastic perfume.

The days seemed to go by as in a dream. Then, on its first birthday, it went wonky. Splotches of magenta appeared, frames froze, images flickered.

From being smart, it had become kind of stupid.

That very same day, the warranty expired.

I know just how that TV felt. I recently turned 60 and woke up with a torn knee ligament, a bleeding nose and an adolescent zit. Would that human kind could extend its warranty on health. My wife is shopping for a new television.

ZOOS

or Menageries, Mist and the M25 STORY: DAVID YOUNG IMAGES: DAVID YOUNG

I

was rather rudely awoken by the nearby sound of a Cape Hunting Dog howling. A zebra looked up cautiously from the watering hole, which I could see through the flap of the tent as dawn broke. Outside, embers still smoldered in the pit where our African guide had cooked for us last night. I thought for a moment of home, then called myself a silly thing for getting homesick. We were only in Kent, after all, in an overnight lodge in a zoo.

The zoo, as an institution, has its detractors, but we shan’t debate these issues today. Suffice it to say, there are arguments on both sides, and the worst excesses of zoos are a thing of the past. I remember, growing up in London, the grim sight of miserable creatures languishing in squalid conditions, underfed and bored. But the terraced slums of Paddington are a thing of the past. Father

LION AT WHIPSNADE would lead us briskly onward, through Regent’s Park to the zoo. Here, too, conditions were poor.

The big cats were confined behind bars in a long smelly room of cages, to be allowed out on occasions into an outdoor cage with slightly less space. A disdainful golden eagle perched nearby, planning its escape. The more interesting the animal, the greater seemed its deprivation. Which meant that the vast collections of ants were having a rare old time in a grimy tank, yet somehow failed to fascinate the passers-by.

Zoos date back at least five thousand years. A royal menagerie in Ancient Egypt held hippopotami, elephants and lions, but maybe not much in the way of ants. By the times of the Greek Empire, most states would have had a zoo. King John of England kept a menagerie in the Tower of London, which was opened to the public centuries later in the reign of Elizabeth I. In the 18th century, admission could be gained for free if you could offer a dog or cat for the lions to eat. Apparently, this rule no longer applies, which ruined my day when I went to a zoo the other day, but it cheered poor Fido up no end.

Eventually, the collection at the Tower was moved into Regent’s Park. The fashion at the time was for entertainment of the public (at which the ants still fail miserably) but the new London Zoo had a scientific role. So although the zoo was founded in 1828, it only opened to the public in 1847.

There have been some bizarre exhibits in zoos

down the centuries, including ELEPHANT AT HOWLETTS that most savage of beasts, the human. In New York, in 1906, a pygmy was put in a cage with some chimps as a rather dodgy way of trying to illustrate evolution. Of course, people objected to this, but mainly because they disagreed with the theory of evolution.

We’ve come a long way from the morbid barred cages of the 1960s. Nowadays, the respectable zoos take care that their animals are kept as much as possible in some imitation of their natural habitat. Rolling plains and watering holes, trees and rocks replace the old bars. zoo in Kent.
