    Its nearlie always jocks who bang on about fen dogs being no good! is it because you havent got any good feilds up there? I was up there last week and I didnt see any? or is it an inbreed fear of open spaces? For centurys every time a scots men stepped on a big feild thed be a well organised English army on the other side of it who would march on over and defeat your cowering soldiers? . . . More rent please angus MUST ADMIT ......... THIS POST STRUCK A CORD WITH ME , TWO OF MY BEST MATES ARE SCOTS GREAT LADS , BUT IVE MET BY FAR MORE JOCKS THAT ARE BULLSHITTERS

    YEP TUZO , ROLLERS CAN ATTRACT THEIVES , SAME AS BRITISH BIRDS , RACING PIGEONS , TERRIERS , BULL TERRIERS , LURCHERS , HORSES ....... COME TO THINK OF IT ANY ANIMAL , BIRD OR FISH THAT CAN BE SOLD FOR PROFIT ,...... YET STILL ROLLER MEN ARE SOME OF THE MOST GENEROUS IVE MET
  21. DUCKWING
    TUZO ,......... GIVE THEM TIME IMO , ...... IF I STILL HAD THE GAMEFOWL I CERTAINLY WOULDNT BE ADVERTISING MY PRESENCE , IVE SEEN FAR TOO MANY BIRDS GET STOLEN BY DYKESHITTERS THROUGH LOOSE LIPS .... MOLL , IVE MET FRIENDS THROUGH KEEPING POULTRY I STILL CALL AND TALK TO EVERY DAY ,.......AFTER 30 YRS OVER THAT TIME IVE MET SOME FINE PEOPLE THAT WILL HELP ANYONE THATS GOT A GENUINE INTEREST , AFTER I LET MY POULTRY GO IT WAS REFRESHING TO FIND ANOTHER FANCY THAT HAD A SIMILAR ETHOS ...... THE ROLLER GAME IS FULL OF JUST SUCH MEN AND WHEN I TALK OF THE SHOWMEN ,.

PERSONALLY I BELIEVE THESE MEN WOULD
