Ok lads i was brought up in this built up area with a dene and burn running between 2 estates .it was my play ground where i spent every spare minute nesting and being a typical lad making dams etc at the moment its fell into disrepair with plastic bottles (bongs) fridges bags of clothing etc dumped on a regular basis .me and a couple of lads have offered to tidy the place up free of charge in our own time but have been told any rubbish we accumalate will be classed as fly tipping! We are going to go ahead regardless and hopefully they see common sense .if they dont then local papers

Me and ian drove up to keepers place yesterday just this side of borders and although a fresh cold day it was sunny so thats a bonus plenty of jackdaws around lambing pens but one shot and all gone i went for a mooch on my own and 2 squirrels in quick succession in the bag and back to motor for a cuppa ian has hid himself in hope of a feral or two and ten mins pass and he emerges with a brace of ferals .a bit crack with both keeper and landowner and they send us to another farm 5 mins away where we managed a rook and another feral.we called it a day about 4.oclock

2- 6 yr old boys killed a 5&half yr old girl on Norway [similar case] and nothing -yes nothing happened to them they were named and still lived in the community ? think it might have been mentioned in this programme [i cant watch owt like that as to distressing/annoying] but wife did and mentioned it to me surely the girls parents would have done ANYTHING to kill the little twats and fxck the jail time as realistically their lives were over anyway [mine would be]
