Correct Ian, in the UK they are classed as rodent,pest,vermin, and can be legally shot,gassed,trapped and ferreted for providing you have the land owners permission Rog

When I've been out bird watching I have seen squirrels follow birds down the hedgerows to their nests and eat all the chicks or eggs, yes they are lovely little cuddly furry little creatures, not actually eaten one though Ian but was told by one of the locals out here they taste a bit like poodle but a bit stronger Rog

Tree rats carry the same diseases as brown rats, they are classed as vermin and as such can be shot legally, better than them eating poison and left to die a slow death for the owls and other raptors to pick up and eat for them to suffer the same fate Rog

Too much time on your hands Kev Rog

If it's not too far for you you could try the Lincs HFT club, they meet Wednesday evenings and Sundays I think, they do have a website Rog

This is true dgbrit he is quite right about said nerve, a lot of saddles now have either a soft spot in the middle or a complete cutout to prevent this discomfort and the so called bedtime problem Rog

Ah the old Harbuilt with the little two stroke engine, no longer with us as they were deemed too dangerous on the roads (prone to tipping over going round corners) confined to the history books as another one of mankinds failures as will be the mobility scooter Rog

Piggyand babs, I too have breathing problems, years of working and breathing in all sorts of noxious fumes, struggle to climb stairs or walk up hills for any length of time, i ride my bikes and trike but no where near as quick as I used to be and can't cycle up the hills of Derbyshire anymore which I used to love to do, I know I'm getting older like the rest of us but i still keep climbing, cycling and hill walking inspite of the discomfort, by doing that it keeps me out of one of those damn mobility contraptions, answer me this question: if these scooters are that much of a godsend why do the

Things pretty tight all over, get yourself some insurance and do a bit of grovelling with land owners, problem is all land owners seem frightened of being sued if any shots go astray and hit something/someone, Is there any clubs nearby you could join? our local field target shooters club packed in last year because his shop could no longer support it, checkout some adverts in the airgun mags,talk to some factory owners who might have rat or pigeon problems, anythings worth a go, good luck Rog

This is what I'm saying Catfan, the more you do for these types the more they abuse it Rog

The bloke who invented (if thats the right word) the scooter wants horse whipping for encouraging people to use these things instead of the mobility aids the good lord gave them, I agree if you've lost them aids fair enough but most of the anti social drivers of these things are able bodied and are just too lazy to walk which would be more healthier for them, fag in one hand and a bag of chips or a burger in the other, they don't even begin to look after themselves, bloody menaces Rog

I do a fair bit of airgun hunting, mainly rats, pigeons, rabbits and squirrels Rog

Can't get the trike in for mobility scooters, I see you can hire a scooter at the Asda to help you get round the store, not content with parking as close to the door as possible in their own parking bay, they now have their own scooter hire station in the store doorway, what next chauffeur driven mobility scooters, we were pushed out of the way by a scooter "driver" on Loughborough market the other week and the lazy cow got off the scooter and more or less ran to the fish stall and went to the front of the queue to get served first, she was right pi$$ed off when the stall holder ignored her un

Thanks Commo,bike rides on hold until I get rid of this man flu Rog

Don't know why they don't have supermarkets dedicated to the mobility scooter shopper that way they would'nt block the isles off and catch the ankles of the more able bodied shopper, we are fast becoming a minority shopper Rog

Not sure if Marshalls were down Pasture lane Ruddington, the only transport company I knew of down there was Thompson and Jewitt, used to do a lot of Scandinavian runs Rog

My Grandparents lived on Albert street, last house before the school, the allotments were across the railway lines from the bottom of Albert street Rog

Hi Davidw, I have asked the guy's at work about this word "grootled" and they have not heard of it in darkest Lincolnshire, mind they seem to struggle with plain English anyway but most of them have mastered gibberish Rog

Nowt wrong with listening or reading other peoples opinions on all sorts of subjects, you don't have to reply as Michael Booth suggested, we all have different beliefs and opinions on millions of subjects and it would be wrong to suppress these beliefs and opinions, if anyone does'nt want to contribute to this thread. fine thats all our choices but please don't condemn a new poster and member of this site just because he has different views, Nottingham folk are renown for being tollerant of other folk no matter what their beliefs, idea's culture etc and I for one am proud of that. over to you

St Paddy was the name of a race horse also the name of a Deltic diesel locomotive Rog Happy Georges day btw

I remember stretch Paulus, if you could'nt stretch any further you could get you knife to stick in the ground between the opponents legs so you could stand up and put your legs together and start again Rog

Red X, penny a shot, one shot per gallon of petrol "UCL" upper cyclinder lubricant also very good for freeing seized nuts and bolts, used the stuff lots during my apprenticeship years Rog

Hi Dave, It's always interesting to read others take on "unexplained" things, or are they "unexplained"or is it that we don't understand the explanations keep your thought,explanations, theories coming, makes for interesting reading Rog

Hi Dave, interesting theories, do you have any thoughts on the books written by Lyall Watson (Supernature) or Eric von Daniken (gift of the gods) Rog

Annswabey, I think they moved there in the mid to late 60's from Bulwell, Albert street next to the school Rog
