    After years of trying allsorts I have now found a solution to cold hands. I buy cheapish fingerless gloves, when they get wet, I put them away and put on a fresh dry pair and am warm again. After trying neoprene, Barbour, Sealskinz, etc etc I can safely say that none will keep you warm once they are wet and the wind is blowing. OTC

    That's just it Moley - the Chinese copies aren't legal at all - only those on the Approval Order OTC

    Unfortunately not - it is a Spring Trap by the definition of the law, and requires Ministerial approval before it can be used in Gt Britain legally OTC

    The Pests Act 1954 makes it is an offence to use a spring trap for the purposes of killing or taking animals in England and Wales other than one approved by an Order of the Secretary of State. The approval of traps is a devolved issue. Traps that are currently approved in England are specified in The Spring Traps Approval Order 1995 (Statutory Instrument 1995 No. 2427), The Spring Traps Approval (Variation)(England) Order 2007 (Statutory Instrument 2007 No. 2708) and The Spring Traps Approval (Variation)(England) Order 2009 (Statutory Instrument 2009 No. 2166). The 1995 Order allows t

    No it is not exactly rare AA It is just a thunderstorm in a snow producing cumulonimbus cloud - actually fairly common in the polar/arctic airstream we are in - the higher sea temperature activates the clouds and the sub zero air temperatures at the bottom of the cloud ensure the snow falls. Good visual effects can be seen though as the snow reflects the lightning flash, where rain doesn't, and it quite often sounds louder as the air is still and distant sound is dampened by the snowfall I hope that explains it all for you?

    I think that you will find that most dog men will feed on raw or at worst complete food - that tinned rubbish is no good for your dog - take a look at what comes out of the other end - same as goes in the front? Brown slop. OTC

    If you can find a copy - Minor Field Sports by L C R Cameron Great pursuits from years gone by - viper killing, millipede racing, bird nesting, gudgeon fishing, rook shooting, beetle fighting, sparrow trapping, hedgehog hunting etc ... priceless!!! OTC

    Oh yes, I agree with you there JD. Brendon Chase and The Pool of the Black Witch were my favourites as a lad and remain so today OTC

    Now you're just showing off Kay I like the first one best - very nice! OTC
  13. OldTrapCollector
    Fair enough - I think it detracts a lot from an otherwise nice mount though, I don't think I would like that on my wall OTC

    And those cheap 4Z nylon nets would last about 5 minutes on my type of ground, especially set they way they were. Amateurs!! OTC

    Yes - what's the story with all of the ticks on the deer Steve? OTC

    John Think fox! They won't barge through thick cover unnuecessarily, they will follow the path of least resistence - cart/wheel tracks, sheep trods, whatever. I doubt whether any paddock fails to produce something of that ilk, no matter how remote. If they are too hard to spot them make some with the 4x4 OTC

    Whilst I am in favour of using the Internet to advertise services and educate the GP, I wonder what membership of this site has over that of the 'other' two Mole Catcher type sites that have been in existence for a while now? I mean, if it is a case of 'the more the merrier' then that's fine by me, but I don't see what else anyone being registered to this site has to gain?? OTC

    These days I want to do 'better' things than I have done in the past Each to his own ... OTC

  22. OldTrapCollector
    Yes tried that but no answer, and the Yahoo address comes up as undeliverable ... OTC

    I need to get in touch with Dave Simpson - if you read this post Dave, or anyone with contact to him does please PM me (His email address on the site is not being accepted by my mailer for some reason??) OTC
