James. Sticking his neck out on a blind date. The Trouble with a shy bachelor like James was that he would never come out of his shell. And females, of course, go for the racy type. The sort of chap who carries an upper-crust bearing. To put it bluntly, James was an also-ran at his garden home in Breck-road, Wallasey, Cheshire. Even chatting up his playmate Peggy was like banging his head against a brick wall. So his owner, school teacher Miss Annette Timewell, decided it was high time he struck his neck out and had a blind date. The place: Belle Vue Zoo, Manchester, Lancashire. Where James, bearing a bouquet of hyacinths, was placed alongside one of the zoo's star charmers.They nuzzled, chatted about the weather - "last winter was a dream" - and displayed promising signs of a courtship. But after 60 minutes it was obvious that love was not to be. James, it must be admitted, is an utter slow-coach at courting. Miss Timewell also brought along another male tortoise, Fez. But he didn't find love either. She said : "Now I may have to try them with a couple of females from a pet shop." May 1968 P000723
