    We're thick with them down here! It's a constant battle to keep them under control on some of my contacts.

    It's a difficult one muddy! It's like a snowball, more wom more work, more wom and before you know it your thinking this is killing me. It's a great situation to be in but.......! Some on here know that I had some health issues which to be honest have left me with far less stamina, plus I ain't no spring chicken anymore. I now try to work smart concentrating on domestic stuff, there is ocean's of it out there, but as I'm sure Matt would tell you , you musnt be a one trick pony. Domestic one offs, like fleas, wasps, clusters etc seriously boost your annual income.

    Forgot to mention, half tsp of splenda per bottle to sweeten a bit and one tsp per bottle of caster sugar to bottle condition and plenty of fizz.

    Well bottled it up last night, 45 bottles, 6.6%, not the 7+% it should have been because there was supposed to be only 40 bottles, "school boy error", hopefully haven't lost to much fireyness or depth of flavour. Worked out 33p a bottle.

    Fair play to you! I,'ve turned away all farm jobs for about eight years now, I loved driving around the fields enjoying the views and sounds, but I was losing too much money doing it, and it was killing physically, my knees, back and right shoulder were buggered after a mole season. When I say I was losing too much money, I mean that by say spending a week clearing a couple of thousand acres on a dairy farm and say earning four or five hundred, I could earn significantly more by doing say ten domestic gardens in a couple of days with no physical effort and still have the rest of the week to e

    Only pulling your piddler mate! I find the biggest flag vandals to be rabbits, bleeding things nip off very close to the wire so you've really got to search for them then. I honestly find on non public places putting the diver of turf on the top of a mole hill three feet to one side of the trap site the best visual indicator. Dave, unfortunately she's not used to EVERYTHING being large, lol

    Bloody he'll Matt, you must need sunglasses to look at them flags! I reckon NASA could check tour traps with those. My Mrs likes BIG flags on her traps, she ties a whole nitrile glove on each.

    I'll be over again in mid may, I think I'll make a concerted effort to source some this time.

    Hmm, it was obviously a long time ago, but I know John was directly involved. I know they were selling all the coypu traps. I have a lot of old trap catalogues here, I'll see if I can find them.

    That's a shame, lovely old chap, New how to tell a yarn.

    How the he'll are you getting tinternet down there in dingly dale? You must be Sat in a pub somewhere using their free wifi!

    Damned if I can remember the name of the company, they are farmers really over in Cambridgeshire if I remember correctly. Not directly related, but a couple of your traps sorted out a tricky garden job again today in a very sandy set where the only suitable place was under some slabs.
  13. mole trapper
    I will, I will! Trouble is I've only had it three days and it's already lagged.

    Nah, she's not stainless , couple of times I've not wiped her down end of the day and she's been completely rusted in the morning.I am quite ritualistic about wiping with the towel even between sets let alone jobs, shiny! Mmmm

    Oh yes, she's a beauty! Bought it from a company John lill was/is involved with, he's the guy maff had for trapping, coypu for example, I did some basic pesty qualifications with him. The probe used to have squared off sides and be maybe 5ml thicker, the granite in the soil and hundreds of thousands of dibs have worn it down.

    Definitely worth it, New hw80 delivered to your door for £240 over here £330, no brainer, looking at bringing in two rifles myself at the mo.
  17. mole trapper
    Ah, so that's why I couldn't order any!

    My bar, I've made probably forty to fifty percent of my living the last fifteen years or so using this bar, if I ever lost it I would be inconsolable, it's an extension of my soul. Cutting instruments I change occasionally, this knife though has been my tool of choice now for about eight years, not bad for a cheaply axminster tools jobby.
  19. mole trapper
    This is how it looks,
  20. mole trapper
    what you trying to say about me? Yep, picked her up, bloody scarey place though that Manchester! Everywhere you looked wall to wall burkhas and so many coppers, all toting h+k mp5,s! Thought the train had pulled into down town Beirut.

    Started 5 gallons on Sunday, piece of p+#s to make and only a tenner to make. 2 kgs of fresh ginger grated, 2 orange, lemon, lime zest and juice, 3kg of sugar, 23lts of water and a sachet of champagne yeast. Bubbling like a train, should be fermented out in about eight days total, bottle with teaspoon of caster sugar per bottle and cap. I'll be putting in half a tsp of splenda as well to sweeten slightly as I don't like ir too dry. You could drink in a couple of weeks but massively improved if you leave a couple of months to bottle condition in a cool place. Mine should come out between 7

    Remember when I first started out I used to wander the fields with one of them old dears shopping trolleys, dressed like wurzel gummidge, thank god nobody took any photos! "I hope"

    Well I'd like to have been out using any kind of trap today, but no, my sodding van decided it wanted to have a day off again! So that's bloody it, I'm off to Bolton of all places to pick up my new van tomorrow. But that's fine, I'll only be another three days behind than I already was. Grrrrrrr Might get meself some of them talpex when I can afford it again "about 2020"
  24. mole trapper
    Nah, that's one of them things the girls in night clubs dance around!
