T P , this land is alongside the M 1,the foxs have a nice safe walk into the cityalong the embankments,if the weather is dry they can go under the motorway through the culverts,also ,theres a big poultry place nearby and that draws them in,this time of the year theres allways lots of dead pidgeons in the fields ,so thats another easy feed for them.

I have just had a few days in Brixham ,while i was there we had fish and chips, not on the harbour ,but from Daves chip shop,a couple of streets inland,the price of fish and chips was over £7 ,that is about a 170 times as much as i paid in the middle 1950s, on the plus side, beer was only about 70 times as much.

when i was a kid my sister and me used to pick buckets,my mam used to make wine ,jam ,and a very sharp sauce.We had the sauce with home made brawn,pickled pigs feet ,or pressed sheeps head,my dad used to have it with boiled cows udder ,i could never tackle udder ,the smell used to turn me when it was being boiled, in the bucket ,my mam and nan were TT,but they often got pissed on blackberry or elderberry wine, or, tonic, as they used to call it . People dont seem to bother with them nowdays,theres acres of them near me ,this morning i picked a gallon in a few minutes.

The trouble you have with leaving bits of rabbit ,and guts all over the place is ,you encourage foxs,magpies,and crows into the area ,then, when they have finished the little treats you have left them,they start eating the little chicks on that patch of land. ever wonderd why you are called micky nomates? tell me then micky nomates what happens to all the foxes that are shot/dug to or snared? a lad who flies his harris hawk with us feed foxes to his bird when its in moult, on the last note ian b has posted twice on this thread giving his opinion, thats not enough? atb bullet p.s. ian i
