Chameleon Hat

In 2002, a 17-year-old arriving from Dubai was stopped at the Manchester Airport because of her startling ‘hat.”
She was actually wearing a rare chameleon on her head scarf, a lizard she had purchased at a market in Saudi Arabia.
At first, other passengers thought it was a plastic accessory – until they spied its tongue flicking out.
The creature was her exotic pet and appropriately nicknamed Hattie.
Sadly, Hattie became the property of the fine folks down at Customs and Excise.
