    A couple of other thoughts to add to your brew witterings ... Apparently squeezing the teabag adds more tannin to your tea cup, adding a bitter after taste And I also remember being told that the triangle bags were a result of a malfunction in the 'normal' teabag producttion line, it was not an intentional plan. The result gave off more tea taste than anything they had so far achieved in the lab, including the round ones. OTC

    I am no sheep - I just know what I know In any form of trapping simplicity triumphs over complexity every time OTC

    Is all that work really necessary? Making an 'inspection hatch' will just make it harder to make and conceal. Surely the 3 planks nailed together would suffice?? OTC

    Jo I am certainly no small guy either but the Genuine BMI's can take some setting without the proper tool that Micky showed, the Chinky copied traps have weaker springs that a child could set. Get the setting tool and life will be easier for you OTC

    Hmmm, not quite sure what BBS is ... Thanks for your help so far though Mat Anyone else know? I have had it on my Theoben Fenman until this morning - I bought another scope - and just wanted to find out a bit about it as I cannot remember what I paid for it OTC
