No problem. Tell them you are a researcher from the University of Central Lancashire and you are writing a thesis on "the social implications of domesticated and undomesticated wildlife in a bereavement setting: - costs and benefits, a wider appreciation". They'll open up like nobody's business. I guarantee, if you tell people you are writing a thesis, they will tell you the most amazing personal details, and I mean amazing. Retirement plan no. 2 is to write a book about it.
