Maybe a squirrel farting or something like that?

Have to be a damn big squirrel to warrant such a sign.

I think it refers to the occasional but very sudden appearance of low flying and very loud military fighter jets.

Yeah, I figured that! But don't underestimate squirrels.

True, we have been invaded by those uncouth verminous grey squirrels which have driven our lovely and very cute native red squirrels out of most parts of the country.

I remember the red squirrels in the London park by where I used to live. I've seen some here in the US that have red in them, but they are rare. And the grey ones seem to be suicidal. I see them at the side of park roads and they run at me, and almost go under my front wheel.

I knew a guy who had a .22 rifle, and he'd go into a mobile home park that I used to service, and shoot squirrels. He hit one with every shot, and when he got six, he'd take them home to prepare and eat them.

I think the Grey Squirrels carry some kind of disease that the Red one's cant handle, don't see a great deal of them in the UK...

Grey squirrels were introduced into the UK in 1870. Here's more info on them:

Can imagine a certain former US president suggesting painting the grey's red as solution

Still lots in the west coast of Scotland, but even there, they're under pressure from the greys.

There's around 140,000 reds verus 2.5 million Grey's.

Cycling around the Jersey Coast ' climbing out of Grève de Lecq upto Catel Fort; 'Cyclist Dismount', naturally I was determined not to get off; all went well until a car came the other way on this narrow lane and I had to stop, it was so steep I could barely 'stand' let alone get on the bike
