If you turn up armed with nuts and can't get one to come right up to you then you must be OFTW in their eyes. My old man used to be on the town centre management/planning in the 80s and 90s and campaigned for a cull of the grey squirrels. He planned to borrow some tractor from the golf club with a roller/spike thing rigged up to the back and drive it about the park running over squirrels. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a more humane middle-ground solution would be to get his painter/decorator son to spray-paint them all ginger? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A tour bus stopped for some sight and when they reboarded they thought a woman was missing. She'd just put on a different coloured jumper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-J600FN using Tapatalk Get yourself up your local auction mart next Spring. 3 lambs can probably be had for the same price as a new Flymo. And then you get to sell them back as fatties about this time of year and get your money back. Win/win!! Although your grass will be ankle deep in shite by then. And you’ll also need to buy a pick-up truck for transporting them. They’re not too respectful of the usual family estate car.

Bully Wee Villa Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Always thought it was somewhat hypocritical how people rant on about grey squirrels taking over when we are an invasive species, ourselves. You don't see many Neanderthals knocking about, nowadays. Well, except at Ibrox. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't see many Neanderthals knocking about, nowadays. Well, except at Ibrox. For the majority of animal conservationists, it's simply about keeping their backyard and the wider world stocked with their favourite furry animals, e.g. pandas, snow leopards, red squirrels etc etc. Unless the food chain would be impacted to a level that would inconvenience us, absolutely nobody other than a handful of boffins would care about some red forkytailed beetle being partly ousted by a near-identical American variety. Anyway, the soft, self-entitled ginger sciuridaean immigrant tufties from the continent (where their population is rather healthy) only moved into Scotland once the glaciers started to disappear. What gives them a monopoly on the place. Edited October 1, 2021 by Hedgecutter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee fans probably do tbf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
