Section 161 (2) Highways Act 1980
"It is an offence without lawful authority or excuse, to discharge any firearm within 50 feet of the centre of a highway if a user of the highway is injured, interrupted or endangered"
Could fit the bill if its a public footpath?

As I've decided to give up shooting, I'm selling my Lincoln. Its only had about 1000 rounds through and is pretty much immaculate. Its 3" magnum proofed with 28" barrels. The gun will come boxed in the original box with a canvas gunslip, new trigger lock and 5 multichokes in a new choke pouch. I'll throw in some cartridges too. I've got more photos if anyone wants a look.
Pick up from Shrewsbury, Shropshire. SGC holders only.
£550 for quick sale.

I'm in Pulverbatch, just outside Shrewsbury. Heres a bigger pic. I'll post the billhooks at cost if required but the axes would be collect only.

Over the years I've acquired a fair old collection of axes and billhooks and I've decided to have a clearout. Some are older than others and have a few battle scars but all are in good usable condition and hold a nice sharp edge. They don't make steel like this anymore. These are all much better quality than the standard Bulldog/Spear&Jackson fare.
I'd prefer collection from Shropshire.

2. Gilpins Canadian pattern felling axe. 6lbs. 32" handle £40

Saw something very similar years ago only it was the Dudley earthquake

self-employed molecatcher but often wish I could get something with more regular hours and better pay. I've done some private investigation/surveillance courses and am trying to get into that line of work but after 5 months of trying its still no joy.

Don't know if the person who started the thread is a "Professional" pest controller or one who just does it for a bit of money on the side but i have been in business many many years as a full time pest controller and my answer would be this:
Give them a competitive price for the job..........agree that price........ and stick to it.... If they don't like what they hear then f***k them off and if as was described previously they pronounce the "Last fella did it for £30 quid" then do as i do...........tell them to go get the last bloke back again, tell them you run a business and not a charity service and walk away...........people like that aint worth a light.
Rolfe.
Rolfe I am a professional molecatcher so I did agree the price which was fair given the circs and I did make him pay the full amount. What annoyed me was the complaining afterwards when he knew the price in advance and agreed to have the work done then tried to tell ME what he was going to pay if it happened again. Not a major problem as I got my money and won't be going back but its just the attitude of these types of people that winds me up.

I got called up by a local landed gentry type who owns thousands of acres around where I live to sort out a mole problem. It was only one mole in his garden. I told him the price (which wasn't much as it was a quick job within walking distance) and he hmmm'd theatrically for a bit then said ok. When I went to pick up the traps this morning after catching it he starts giving it all this stuff about "the last chap caught 6 and he only charged me £30. What happens when I get another cos I'm not going to keep paying you this every time. Next time I'll pay by the mole (£5)"
I felt like crowning the stuffy twat with my spade but left thinking don't bother ringing me back. If he thinks I'm going to turn out for a fiver then he's f*****g deluded.
It isn't the first time its happened with this "calibre" of customer. Still think they're living in feudal times and that I'm going to doff my hat and say "Yes of course m'lord".
Right, back down off the soapbox now !
Your thread title answered your question......
I knew that was coming !

I've been having the same problem for the past few months. The little b*****d always comes during the night and traps haven't worked. My problem area is my veg plot so I don't want to spray loads of chemicals around it. I've recently put a load of pelleted poultry manure pellets down (to feed the plants) and since then there have been no further problems. He/she obviously doesn't like the smell.
I also get s**t left on the grass so to whoever mentioned it they aren't the nice clean tidy up after themselves creatures that you've been led to believe they are.

If you had to pick one that you'd never get sick of listening to, who would it be ?
For me its Big Country. Only saw them live twice but bloody hell what gigs they were. I still remember the disbelief I felt when I heard that Stuart Adamson had hung himself. More talent in that man than any of todays so-called musicians. What a waste. Could listen to them for hours though and the songs bring back so many memories of growing up. F*****g brilliant.

Get the screaming in my head to stop !!!
Ideation - forget about going to the South, head to Belfast and work your way up the coast road through the Glens of Antrim, Giants Causeway, Portrush and Portstewart and maybe across to Donegal. Then down to Fermanagh and Lough Erne. Take in the Marble Arch Caves and then across to Downpatrick. From there to Newcastle where the Mountains of Mourne reach down to the sea, up to climb Slemish (where St. Patrick tended his flocks as a youth) and see Lough Neagh and then back to Belfast. The whole country doable in a week. Top scenery, top people and top beer. But then I am slightly biased !!
