    I was listening to Simon Mayo's drive time last night and man called Martin rang up for a request and was telling simon about his two elderly chimps - Guy and Ghee (I think it's actually the French for guy rather than cooking cat). The man said that they had been rescued from a zoo.

    He said he had them in an annex (though I got the impression it was just an easy way to quickly describe their enclosure rather than an actual annex) and that their diet was prepared by an ex zoo vet friend of theirs. His wife's name was either Pearl or Olive - I'm sure he said Pearl but then Simon said olive.

    Does anyone know of this pair or their history?
