Spoon?? not been called that since I was about 10! No, you misunderstand what I was putting. I wasn't having a pop, or even refering to you specifically. I was replying to Ideations post about possible reasons why people would still be ferreting this time of year, I was just saying that I reckon that's the reason why some people still do it. Some people have to because that's what the farmer wants or to make sure they keep permission (which I think is what you were saying), but others still go because they don't want to stop, same with lamping. Just an observation, that's all.
