Recently we had the opportunity to interview Victoria Park’s two black squirrel mascots, Vicky and Albert, and their replies to the following questions.
Questions

1) With both of you being such nature lovers, I have to ask, what is your favourite flower?

Vicky: Tulips! They’re very colourful plus the bulbs make a tasty treat.

Albert: The flower they use to make pizza with!

Vicky: Albert, that’s flour not flower!

Albert: That’s what I said.

Vicky: Oh, forget it!


2) I know you both enjoy the many festivals in the park. What is your favourite festival and why?

Vicky: I just love the Children’s Festival! The little ones are so cute.

Albert: A Taste of London – for the food of course but I also think the Home County Folk Festival is great because of all the loud music!


3) Speaking of food, I suppose both of you have your own particular favourites. What would they be?

Vicky: I like all vegetables and fruits but I especially love peanuts!

Albert: Pizza rules!

Vicky: Why doesn’t that surprise me!


4) Music plays a big part of a lot of festivals in the park. What is your favourite song?

Vicky: My favourite song is our theme – The Black Squirrels of London!

Albert: We have our own song? I didn’t know that. I like “We Will Rock You” by Queen.


5) The park is full of interesting things to see. What are your favourite items?

Vicky: I love the Bandshell. You can see everything in the park from the top of the Bandshell.

Albert: The Holy Roller. My friends and I are working on that tank and should have it up and running soon.

Vicky: But Albert, you don’t know how to drive a tank!

Albert: It doesn’t matter, because if people see a tank coming at them, they’ll get out of the way!


6) Now about the four seasons… What is your favourite time of year in the park?

Vicky: Spring because that’s when all the babies are born!

Albert: Summer because there’s more people which means more food!


7) There’s a lot to see at Christmas in the park. What’s your favourite Christmas display?

Vicky: I love the nativity scene because I like to see the baby in the manger.

Albert: Santa Claus and his reindeer!


8) I know you both love your home and the people who visit, but tell me, what is your pet peeve?

Vicky: People that come to the park empty-handed but still expect us to entertain them.

Albert: People who order pizza without double cheese.

9) What is your favourite city street?

Vicky: Queens Avenue of course!

Albert: Albert Street – for obvious reasons!

10) And last of all, what is your favourite eating establishment?

Vicky: The hot dog stand at the Clarence & Dufferin park entrance.

Albert: The restaurant that was named after me – Prince Albert’s Diner.

Vicky: Prince Albert was Queen Victoria’s husband’s name.

Albert: I know – he was named after me too!
