Y'know I had heard the word stoat before but never knew what animal referred to.
Those guys looked like weasels.
According to the dictionary, stoat = ermine = weasel.
Now maybe that's an oversimplification of the dictionary and ermine/stoat is a member of the weasel family.
Or it could be a British thing like lorry/truck and torch/flashlight.
Still I heave heard of ermine in terms of furs that royalty used to wear (maybe still do). I guess "Her majesty was resplendent in her weasel robe" probably sounds a lot better with 'ermine'.
