sorry to say, but this country has had it

We said the same 40 years ago

When you "catch" them, what do you do with them ?

Throw them into field next door.
Yes really. Just a lot of farmland around here so I sling dead moles and the mice the cats catch into field where they either decompose naturally of scavenger birds etc have a free meal.

And we were right.

Morning all

Bit late this morning; IKEA delivered our sofa bed at 0800 and I've just finished installing it. The conversion action on this one is much easier than the old sofa bed we used to have.

Just got a couple of window blinds to put up next, and then we're good for guests.

Just been looking at the news .....sorry to say, but this country has had it......Oh and don't mention Easter

Why do you say "don't mention Easter"?
Of course I have mentioned it now, sorry.
I know you are 'religious' so what is suddenly wrong with Easter ?

But how do they die ?
Are you allowed to kill them as vermin ? If so, how do you do it ?

I have visit Daktari this morning and get an appointment for my right ear. 👂

If it’s on the retirement thread send it on its own.Im sure it’s capable of waxing lyrical about its symptoms

I use barrell traps which kill them basically.

And yes it is allowed :

As I said earlier, I'd rather not kill animals but moles left unchecked will wreck havoc in garden. I don't have a pristine lawn etc but if I don't get rid of moles I'll be left with a bomb site.

A couple of pub names which I have seen on my travels, which are not very PC, by todays standards, are The Saracens Head and The Black Boy, not sure where they come in the rankings, but, they a re not in the top fifty (unsurprisingly).

Good morning

You could always not read the sh*t rags and their websites with their constant stream of rage bait and misinformation. There's a reason they're know as the " Wail and Depress "

Ostrich comes to mind
