    There were lots of different alarms made in the UK in years gone by for this purpose. The one on eBay is French, as most that turn up these days are. Someone obviously fell in love with the last one he sold as it went for over 400 quid - I have picked them up for a tenner in the past! OTC

    God Bless Them All - in all trades and arms of the British Forces This country owes them a lot We Will Remember Them ... OTC

    It is a sad reflection of what this country has become Hundreds of thousands of men and women have, and continue to give their lives for the freedom and beliefs of this country, people forget too quickly I am afraid that I have have stared into the eyes of the enemy too many times to have not reacted to that kind of blatent racism in my own country and would have probably lost my self control. Ignore the minority and make sure you show, and continue to show, support to our British troops this Sunday at services of Rememberance, and on the day of the Armastice by turning out in numb

    Using spring traps for birds was banned in 1904 in GB Those traps are being sold from China where they are probably within the law but they cannot be used here OTC

    Nice to see them running like that - years ago I would have run home for my gaff and spear but these days I would rather give them a wink as they carry on up river OTC

    Modern goretex is lightweight and keeps the water out for an hour or two - I have a Mountain Equipment top of the range coat that I use 'for best' - but in the real torrential continuous downpours you really cannot beat a Barbour wax. I have had a couple of Solway Zippers over the years (even had one of mine appear in a Barbour advert in the 1980's) and though they are not light, and can get a bit warm in the summer, they certainly keep the very worst of British weather out.

    You will be lucky to get anything constructive or true back from him Phil. I spoke with him at the Midland Game Fair and he didn't have a clue about any of the traps that he had for sale OTC

    Apology accepted WBF - now let's all get on with helping each other with traps and snares shall we?? OTC

    No it isn't Unless you live North of the border OTC Huh? The keeper where i work said that you can get in a load of shit for fence snaring foxes, as if they are found hanging if they tangle the snare around the fence they will get strangled to death and if found by an anti you can get put in court and have a strong case against you. I'll re-check with the keeper but he sames to think that you can't. Whatever he 'seems to think' matters not in this case, law is law and there is no law in England or Wales that states that you cannot set snares on fences for foxes. Fact.

    You had better get looking for those greys Rolfe - they will be well grown and causing mayhem somewhere close! OTC

    I disagree Sounder, I actually think it is worse Thumbs down from me for using capitals throughout a post OTC

    I knew a guy who was actually full time employed by MAFF to catch big cats - it was his sole JOB Funny how they still deny that they exist, even after they approved a trap to specifically catch them with in the UK .... ?? OTC

    Sounds like the work of a visiting otter to me too - and there's not a lot you can do about that! OTC

    The Proclaimers, Lyn Faulds Wood (Watchdog), Gordon Brown for continuing to send our troops to the slaughter in Afghanistan Chuck them in as well ... Not that I have anything against Jocks - I am married to one! OTC

    Why in God's name would anyone put a PLASTIC lid on a rat trap? Beggars belief that these so called 'trap makers' can get away with selling such crap OTC
  21. OldTrapCollector
    There are certainly far better suppliers of useful traps than Trap Man, Stubby. What exactly do you intend to use the trap for - is it for around the garden or shed, aviary or loft? OTC

    Interesting reading there Waz I wonder why the tabloids haven't taken this story up?? (yet) OTC

    I was just interested to know how much Barbour charge for a reproof for my Solway Zipper which has seen better days? Anyone know? Anyone work for them?? OTC
